Re: Failed to access the Debian archive
Alex,
thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion, the nameservers in
/etc/resolv.conf match the ones the router knows. Yet when I try pinging
them, the response is: "connect: Network is unreachable". Same happens when
I try pinging my router.
nslookup seems to be an "unknown command" in this twighlight zone of the
Post-Boot Base Configuration.
