I'm not sure what would cause this problem.
Yes, if you boot the installer and mount your root partition, you
can just select the Configure Network option.
But it would probably be better/easier to just configure the network
yourself, by editing /etc/network/interfaces. There is advice
in man interfaces and also an example file at
/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples
