Comments/Problems:
The network got configured properly, IP address and all (using DHCP).
Then after setting up the Debian mirror, the Release file would not
download. Going to a command prompt, ifconfig showed everything was in
working order. The machine could be pinged (couldn't ping out, no ping
command). It could wget files from my internal ftp and http servers.
But it couldn't download anything from any external servers. Neither
domain names or IP addresses would work. Nor connecting via a static
IP. Even a different network card would not work. The network port did
work with other computers though.
I'm going to try a new daily build from today to see if it changes anything.
