If your machine could be pinged, I suspect that either the gateway or the
DNS-servers were not set correctly on the machine you were installing.
You can check the gateway with the command 'route' or 'route -n'.
You can check the DNS-servers by looking at /etc/resolv.conf (using 'nano'
as editor).
Compare the results to other systems on your network.
It could also be that you need a to use a proxy server.

Looks good. You can use 'wget' to test connections to webservers; for
example
wget http://www.debian.org
should give you the index page of the Debian website.
Using a different image or expert mode will probably not help with this.
