I happened to encounter the above discussion a moment ago.
The report is really rather complete. I installed the given version of Ubuntu,
and during the installation no network questions were asked. Since it is
impossible to contact the network without any information, necessarily the
installation was going to fail. Joseph Walton-Rivers asked whether wireless
was involved. No, this was plain ethernet. The other questions are really
inappropriate - since during the install no network questions were asked,
Ubuntu could only use heuristics to guess something about IP addresses,
netmasks, name servers and the like. Apparently the guesses were wrong in my
case.
Of course I fixed the problems, forget how, it is long ago, maybe by installing
something else, maybe by hand-editing for example /etc/network/interfaces.
