Problem installing woody

[Srinivas Rao <srao@cs.umb.edu>]

Hello

I am trying to install the current stable version of Debian 
thru the network. I have a Netgear FA311 NIC. So while I am
adding modules to the kernel, I add the netsami module(National
Semiconductors). Now when I try to go online to download other
packages, I can not do this. 

I have a verizon dsl, and have a home network of 4 pcs. My
router is 2wire. While configuring my network, I give the IP as
172.16.0.10, netmask as 255.255.255.0, DNS as 172.16.0.1(same as 
router), name server again as 172.16.0.1. Why am I not able to
get anything. It keeps trying to connect to a server then errors
out by saying "Something wicked has happened"

Does anybody know what I might be doing wrong. Incidently my
other windows machines work fine.

Thanks
