[KPUG] Building a Virtual Machine

[Trevor Hall]

It's hard to say, but could be. Though, most coffee shop installs are pretty similar to home installs so my gut reaction is that it's likely a fluke of the re-install (maybe missed a setting last time, etc.) that worked in your favor this go-around.

Glad to hear you're connected though!

Oddly enough, I did the exact same thing today on a fresh install and it worked without a hitch. Today I'm in a coffee shop, yesterday it was at my house. Could it be something my with NAT?

I asked Debian to ping both domain names and received the error: unknown host. I tripled check to make sure sources.list was updated correctly. Additionally, both of the aforementioned URLs return a result on my machine within a browser and Debian 32-bit does not have this issue. Simply curious as to the cause.

One site I found about this said the solution is to change a BIOs setting, but I'm concerned about changing BIOs settings. Is this really the solution? Did I get the wrong Debian iso?
