|- That seems like your networking setup is broken, or you have a firewall
|- which drops packages. If networking was OK, and no server process was
|- listening on port 631, you would get the following error:
|- telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
No Mirko, thanks to Clive I discovered what the net address for this machine
was, I had actually tried that row of numbers without any success, that's why
I thought I might just have it wrong.
Now when I ping I get:-
ariestao:~# ping -c1 ariestao
connect: Invalid argument
So maybe the network is broken, though i don't have a network, and will go for
a clean install. That must be what is required, I think this is what they do
in windows mainly so Debian is probably following suit. It should fix it.
So thank you for your help, and I will just have to maybe leave the default
"Debian" when they ask for the hostname? Maybe that will work then.
Thank you,
Charlie.

the night, While the round moon climbs up Cold Mountain.
