To get browsers and things to work the computer needs to have the DNS being 68.105.28.12. In D-I at the 'detect network' stage it writes /etc/resolve.conf and has 68.105.228.13 and 68.105.228.14 as the DNS servers, which doesn't work. - To configure the network in the install? I hit alt-f2, cd /etc, nano resolve.conf, change the first DNS to the correct url, ctrl-x, y, enter, alt-f1, and it was working then. - /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp

I actually do not think there is a problem as static network configuration works fine for me and does show a dialog asking for DNS servers to use. If you want us to look into this, you should at least provide the following information: - what architecture you are installing - *exactly* what D-I image and installation method you are using (please give the full URL of the image you downloaded) - some information about your home network and internet connection - the exact steps you followed to configure the network - the contents of /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf after that network configuration If you do not provide this info, our only option is to just close your report.
