DNS is a big problem for me as well(DHCP mostly works), maybe just use static ips for that?
Also fails to configure automatically without host name. I think what's
really happening here is a configuration is attempted and the system fails
to check for success or failure status of that configuration and just
assumes the configuration has happened as it moves along to the next step.
With a network that is slow, I've had to get out to the main menu and
select configure network as many as four times to get an actual working
network connection the installer could use to finish its work. On the
cable system I use for internet, even after installation I often read the
messages on aptitude update attempts and aptitude full-upgrade attempts
something wicked happened while trying to connect to
http://ftp.us.debian.org/ no ip address associated with name. I don't
even know what error code that is, but if that's happening with the
installer it's no wonder the network connection temporarily fails. By the
way, I maintain the same connection and try those aptitude commands a few
seconds later and the commands then work properly. On Sun, 27 Nov 2011,
