I am using a telephone line DSL (make Dlink 502T router) and ethernet card (Realtek 8139 PCI Fast Ethernet). I have a subsciption of MTNL (Govt. telephone Co.). And most importantly everything else seems to work fine. I can ping, surf, use DAP, etc. Is it possible for the DNS lookup to fail in the case of apt and not while pinging the site. I mean I don't know. Cannot there be any other problem with apt???
Any clues.
Bye
