i installed Debian Etch AMD64 using netinst CD. installation went fine
except one thing. it configured and connected my network using DHCP
but says "unable to connect to Debian security updates" then after
installation and booting into new system, i faced the same problem.
even "apt-get install xorg" does not work correctly. it goes like
this:
1.) it downloads one package and in the middle of download it freezes.
2.) it waits for "x" minutes where x = 2 - 20 min
3.) then it starts downloading again, from where it left, and goes to step-1
4.) Debian security update are never downloaded.
it seems like i have long DNS lookup. i had the same problem on BLAG
where i had to add these to "/etc/modprobe.conf " or somewhere else i
did not remember:
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
i added the same in "/etc/modprobe.d/aliases" on Debian but it does
not work and my problem is still there. i have removed Debain and
installed Arch Duke i don't have any troubles with accessing internet
but i am very much impressed my DFSG and i want to install Debian
Testing now (seems stable enough for my home PC). what should i do to
solve that problem because IIRC, i had the same troubles when i used
Sarge 1 year ago.
i chose these during installation:
hostname = debian
domainname = planet
every time, when i boot up, i also get this message: "internet
superserver disabled"
----- /etc/hosts -------------
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 debian.planet debian
--------- /etc/resolv.conf -----
nameserver 218.248.255.145
nameserver 61.1.96.69
-------------- /etc/network/interfaces -----
did not remember exactly what was here but it was something like this:
auto lo ....
auto eth0...
eth0 inet dhcp ....
