the missing dependencies?

what does exactly mean "not working"? Due to dependencies which should
be there but aren't? Due to dependencies which are there, but the needed
packages can't be downloaded?

Is this your problem? Would you like to install (mostly) from a set of
ISOs on an USB stick or similar?

Is this your problem? You can set a fixed IP address at install time, or...

...is this your problem? What did you do to your /etc/network/interfaces?
What is your init system?

What do you do exactly? "ifup -a"? Or "ifup eth0"? What's the name of your
ethernet interface? The old-fashioned "ethX" or the new-fangled "en0pXXX"?

No, unless you show us your /etc/network/interfaces. And we might have more
questions, then :-)

How should we know? Is the broken display important?

Quoting a very famous (and in a way fundamental) book: don't panic 8-)
Thanks for your patience, cheers
