Comments/Problems:
An internet connection with a cable modem and ethernet card is a problem.
Ethereal on Windows reports ARP and DHCP packets.
The Realtek ethernet card is mentioned in a disappeared file in
/etc/network/
and the module 8139too seems to be functional.
In the Debian installer DHCP has no result, also the hostname is sometimes
not asked.
A solution is found on Troubles@Home (http://www.troublesathome.nl/).
With nano the file /etc/dhclient.conf is created with the text (hostname
cp12345-a as example):
interface "eth0" {
send host-name "cp12345-a";
}
This seems to be sufficient.
After "ifconfig eth0 down" and "ifconfig eth0 up" download and installation
became possible.
In the new configuration on HD the ethernet card is not functional.
Adding "8139too" to /etc/modules seems to be a solution.

Hi,
and thanks for your report.
Your issues with network module not being detected is reported in the
BTS at the following URL:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=245452
The problem of the dhcp client not sending a hostname is described at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=151820
Since the problems are now in the BTS under separate bug reports, this
installation report is now closed.
Kind regards,
David Härdeman
