Comments/Problems:
I built this machine for a friend, using a Sempron 2400+ on an Asus
A7V400-MX MoBo and 512MB of Kingmax RAM. HD was a 80GB Maxtor, DVD-Rom
an LG. I wanted to debianize it just for fun, before installing
Windows2000 for my pal.
The install went good, all parts were correctly recognized but I
couldn't access outside network.
I use a Zyxel P623-ME as ADSL Modem/Router, linked to a hub where other
2 machines are connected.
After the reboot base-config started looking for apt-get files but
couldn't access the network, so I checked /etc/resolv.conf but my
nameservers were there.
In the meanwhile other machines on the LAN could access the internet.
I checked my routing table (# route -n) but it was just the same as
other machines.
The VIA_RhineII module for LAN was correctly loaded (fact is, I could
ping other machines on LAN and get pinged, but couldn't ping google).
I installed Xandros OCE using the same values for eth0, and it worked
flawlessly. Windows2000 worked too (altough it took almost 4 hours), so
I exclude any hardware or LAN configuration problems.
I know this is not the best report ever, and I don't have the machine
anymore to run more tests, but hope this can help.
Thanks for your attention!

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
