    Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol. Alternatively,  
    the DHCP server may be slow or some network hardware is not working   
    properly.

   From here you can choose to retry DHCP network autoconfiguration        
   (which may succeed if your DHCP server takes a long time to respond)    
   or to configure the network manually. Some DHCP servers require a       
   DHCP hostname to be sent by the client, so you can also choose to       
   retry DHCP network autoconfiguration with a hostname that you           
   provide.

     The netmask is used to determine which machines are local to your    
     network.  Consult your network administrator if you do not know the  
     value.  The netmask should be entered as four numbers separated by   
     periods.

    The gateway is an IP address (four numbers separated by periods) that 
    indicates the gateway router, also known as the default router.  All  
    traffic that goes outside your LAN (for instance, to the Internet) is 
    sent through this router.  In rare circumstances, you may have no     
    router; in that case, you can leave this blank.  If you don't know    
    the proper answer to this question, consult your network              
    administrator.

    The name servers are used to look up host names on the network.       
    Please enter the IP addresses (not host names) of up to 3 name        
    servers, separated by spaces. Do not use commas. The first name

    The hostname is a single word that identifies your system to the      
    network. If you don't know what your hostname should be, consult your 
    network administrator. If you are setting up your own home network,   
    you can make something up here.

    The domain name is the part of your Internet address to the right of  
    your host name.  It is often something that ends in .com, .net, .edu, 
    or .org.  If you are setting up a home network, you can make          
    something up, but make sure you use the same domain name on all your  
    computers.
