I am installing Ubuntu from a USB drive (11.10) and I have gone from having it connected through wifi, and now a physical ethernet to the router.

I am posting inside the OS itself and are trying to install the OS, but during the phase where it tells me to make sure it's connected to the internet (so that updates can be installed), it goes stupid.

It will show a green check, saying yes, its connected, but a few seconds after I press "continue", it replaces it with a grey check.

Whats going on and how do I fix it. I bollocksd up my previous install which was working smoothly and had to reinstall. Decided to do it without updates and it messed up, so this time im not taking chances.

I would ask three questions: First did you test if the utp/stp cable is working good, not bend or something. Second the model/hardware you are using. Third did you try using another pen drive or an external cd-rom. – Luis Alvarado♦ Nov 4 '11 at 4:55
Also, could there be proxy issues? – Scott Severance Nov 4 '11 at 13:34
