#247729 — Net install installer fails to access any mirror...........

	Hello Everyone,

	I have used from this site:
	https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/#netinst-stable

the Debian installer 11.3.0 bullseye AMD64 on a laptop and a desktop.

On both of these the installer does not find any mirror I select, for
the last 3 days.

No error messages that the Ethernet cable is a problem.

They are located at the end of a 15 metre cat 6 cable, but it works,
because I have updated a couple of laptops at the end of that cable
just to see it works all right.

I just wondered what I was doing wrong if anyone has any idea and might
want to give me some hints as to what to look for, rabbits to run to
their burrows.

TIA
Charlie

Can you give more details of the error message? Have you tried the CDN
deb.debian.org as mirror? That is usually the best option.

> No error messages that the Ethernet cable is a problem.

And it goes successfully through the network configuration steps?
Often the network gets automatically configured via DHCP, the installer
should tell you about what it does.

I do not think the problem is related to this.

Regards,
Christian

 The error message as I recall just says that "something" the mirror
 failed. Then "retry" or "change mirror" or "ignore". Tried several
 mirrors in several countries.

Will give CDN deb.debian.org mirror a try next time I get on that
machine.

If memory serves correctly, the desktop gives very little information
on configuring DHCP, just jumps to the next step. This is in "expert
graphical install" option.

Been a while since I install a Debian system and I thought just going
to the next thing was coded by the programmer to save time in this
modern installer?

Didn't think it would be, but just mentioned it for completeness. I
have a friend whose computer, using a windows operating system, sits at
the end of a 30 metre, or something more scary CAT5 cable and it
works.

Thank you for your reply, the laptop is too old and too damaged to do
anything with.

While installing, what was the result of "Detect network hardware" and
"Configure the network" steps?
Click "ctrl+alt+F2", and type "ip addr" to check if address is configured
correctly. Try to ping your router. Then, mirror.

Thank you for your reply, the message is that the network has been
configured successfully.

When next I get on the desktop, I will try your suggestions.

Thank you
