I'm trying to install Debian (Sarge release). I want to do a network install, so I downloaded a small .iso that had just the basic system, and it's supposed to download the rest of what I want.
I have the basic system installed fine, but I'm having problems connecting it to the internet to install anything else. It gets an IP from DHCP fine, but it won't download anything from the mirrors. My pings reveal problems with my connection. I get anywhere from 10% to 60% packet loss, and heard anything above 2% loss is very bad.
The way I have it set up is I have a DSL modem connected to my Windows computer (via USB), and then the Linux computer connected to the Windows computer. (There is a 8-port switch inbetween the main Windows computer and the Linux computer). I have the interfaces bridged in the Windows control panel.
When I connect another Windows computer behind my main Windows system it connects to the internet fine. Also, there is no issue with the internet on my main Windows system.
I heard about messing with the MTU. I've tried setting the MTU on the Linux system to 1492, 1480, 1472, 576 and other values with no luck.
Any ideas, anyone?
