Yes, HTTP over FTP as the latter doesn't always work well or at
all through firewalls.

And is the computer actually connected to the internet ? Can you
ping debian.org or whatever from the machine you're trying to
install Debian on ? If not, go back to the "configure the
network" step in the Debian installer.
For a shell to type the ping command in, try [ctrl]-[alt]-[f2],
[ctrl]-[alt]-[f3] and so on. To go back to the Debian installer,
[ctrl]-[alt]-[f1], if memory serves.
