Probably your networking is not set up correctly. You have a private 
network adress set up. If you want to connect to google and the debian 
mirrors, you either have to have nat installed and configured correctly 
on your router or use a official IP (provided by your internet provider).

Does apt-get work?
After your network problems are sorted out you could
apt-get install aptitude

and install aptitude and

apt-get install samba

for samba.
