what url are you using? http://ftp.debian.org/debian ?

Does you dom0 have access to the internet? Can you wget the following 
url from dom0 : 
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/xen/vmlinuz 
. If not, you could check dom0 network config.
If you cannot have access to internet from dom0 (internal policy, etc.), 
then you can set up an internal web server with the content of the 
following directory :
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/xen/ 
. You are not required to download more since you can configure the 
debian installer to use a proxy after initial kernel/ramdisk loading.
Cheers,

Denis
