If you are not using an existing web proxy server, then nothing. The
problem is something else.

When the basic system has finished installing and you have rebooted
and logged in, what is the output of the command /sbin/ifconfig?

Making a wild guess: what kind of installation did you choose, and is
there a DHCP server in your system? With one of the older installers
(no older than etch), if 'expert' was not chosen, and no existing DHCP
server was found, then no networking software was installed. I reported
this as a bug, but was rather tersely told that it was a feature. It may
still be a feature today.

Nobody on this list can answer that question for you unless one of your
organization's network administrators also is on this email list in
which case if you're allowed to have that information that network
administrator will not post it on this list. To explain, what you have
is a problem local to your own network not a problem common to this
entire list. This of course assumes your internet connection and
network are both working and were both working when you wrote this
message. I've installed earlier net-install versions of debian and have
not even run into the problems you're having now and I'm behind both a
switch going into a router which is going into a modem before going out
onto the internet.

I am not on an organisation's network, I am at home learning Linux.I
was faced with this problem when Trying to install Debian, So I
reinstalled fedora from a Live CD which I had before trying Debian.

I Think as I have noted in a previous message I ran into this problem
because my router was not DHCP enabled. I will try again latter

Enable DHCP and run the setup. Also, just to be on the sure side, check
and see if the network interface is supported in Debian.

If on a dhcp network, the router has to talk dhcp that's for sure.
