You really don't provide *any* useful information for us to help you or
fix a problem, if there is any. I actually do not think there is a
problem as static network configuration works fine for me and does show a
dialog asking for DNS servers to use.

If you want us to look into this, you should at least provide the
following information:
- what architecture you are installing
- *exactly* what D-I image and installation method you are using (please
give the full URL of the image you downloaded)
- some information about your home network and internet connection
- the exact steps you followed to configure the network
- the contents of /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf after
that network configuration

If you do not provide this info, our only option is to just close your
report.

Cheers,
FJP

- Static IP from provider. Behind a router. To get browsers and things to work the computer needs to have the DNS being 68.105.28.12. In D-I at the 'detect network' stage it writes /etc/resolve.conf and has 68.105.228.13 and68.105.228.14 as the DNS servers, which doesn't work.
- To configure the network in the install? I hit alt-f2, cd /etc, nano resolve.conf, change the first DNS to the correct url, ctrl-x, y, enter, alt-f1, and it was working then.

Your /etc/network/interfaces file says that your network interface is
configured by DHCP, probably provided by your router. The wrong DNS
addresses are derived from the DHCP info, so you should fix them in
the DHCP server, which is probably your router. If that's configured
by your provider, then ask them to reconfigure it correctly with
respect to the name server addresses.
