Re: network configuration failed during installation

Alexander,

You probaly should look at:

www.aboutdebian.com/network.htm

To the automatic network configuration works during installation you must have cable on (link on network-card) and your network card must be know to Linux (a.k.a properly modules loaded), may cards have support built-in a few ones you must get from third-party (manufactor) install or compile.

You can look at /var/log/messages for notices about eth0 or other network device.

Also, you must have a DHCP on network for automatic config work, sure.

G'day,

I have installed Debian Lenny on a HP Comaq Presario CQ61 laptop. However, the automatic network configuration failed during installation. I'm fairly new to Linux. I'd appreciate somebody referring me to a HOWTO or some other resource containing instructions on how to rectify the problem. Is there's a log file on the system that could point me in the right direction?

Thanking you all in advance,

Alexander Kapshuk.
