Jeroen,
Try to check out what the installation log (CTRL+ALT+F3) says. I used
to have the same problem with an FTP installation on the same subnet.
It used to be I had to run iptables -F on my FTP server for the
duration of the install and also I have to check how the ports were
configured on my switch (Cisco 6500). Once I placed both to duplex
auto, speed auto, the problem dissapeared and the installation
continued normally.
I've never done an http install before but you have to analyze if
you're doing the installation on the same subnet or from a different
one. Also if your installation is being perfomed over differents
networks and theres a router in between, then probaby you might have
to check if there's any access list and how your switch ports are
configured. If your server/client are on the same subnet it could be
something like the problem I had. Also if they're on the same subnet,
I would try an FTP installation better is easier faster and lest prone
to time outs.

Thanks for the tip.
I'll go and check next monday, when I'm at the system's premises again.
But the system to be installed is behind a firewall, no FTP, and only a
HTTP proxy is available. I don't have access to the switches. And the
only servers available are definitely on different subnets.

Jeroen.
