what can i do?

[falko]

That's strange. Does it still happen, or was it a temporary issue?

[beezer1424]

that happened to me last night as I was reinstalling a new server (from the perfect server debian +ISPConfig3). What was happening was that my existing DHCP server was set to hand out old local DNS server IPs. I editted the dhcp server to send only the external DNS servers and I was able to install the system with no issue.

I don't know if this is a similar situation for you, but good luck

I don't know how it happened (the only thing i can think of was a power outage), but my /etc/network/interfaces suddenly looked like this

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 127.0.0.0
broadcast 127.0.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1


and on top of it /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 xxxx.xxxx.xxx xxxxxxx

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

after changing both back to perfect server guide specs everything's back to normal
