This morning I installed Lenny using netinstall. I have done this with Debian many times over the years without problem.
I always install the base system, let the standard system be set up automatically and then install anything else I want manually after rebooting. Today, that didn't work. The mirrors are said to be uncontactable and the reason is given as 101 network unreachable. I have checked everything. The router is working fine (I have had a look and reset everything). The system is being given a DHCP address - I check with ifconfig. I can ping the router by IP and Google by url. I have tried editing the network interfaces file and setting it up for static IP. It made no difference. I have tried 3 different mirrors - *ox.ac.uk*, *man.ac.uk* and the primary UK mirror. The system still reports failure, both when it tries to verify the security and volatile sources and when accessing the mirrors - but it installs the standard system without any other hitch. In desperation I did a fresh installation. Same problems. I am out of ideas - can anyone suggest anything??
