I inserted the netinstall CD, installed base system. Restarted computer. Then when I come to the Apt configuration I prassed ctrl+alt+f2 loged in and run pppoeconf.

Now I choose apt method ftp, and gives me

>> Temporary failure resolving ftp.debian.org <<

plog gives me:

I would really appreciate some advice cause I'm totally lost. Thanx a lot!

What kind of internet connection do you have? Cable modem? DSL modem? Dial-up over a phone?

Are you sure you need pppoe (PPP over Ethernet)? Even if your DSL provider uses it, it's probably transparent to you.

But if you do need pppoe, notice a couple things from the log:

1. CHAP authentication succeeded - apparently you got logged in
2. not replacing default route to eth0 [192.168.2.1] - your default route isn't ppp0

You can experiment with these commands (replace the IP address with the one your PPPoE link is connected to):

route del default
route add default gw 213.250.19.90
