'apt-get update' problems



Hi all,
I am new to linux and debian and recently installed debian-3.1 using DVD
from a friend. But it seems a lot of libraries or dependencies are
missing. I cannot open any molecular viewing packages like pymol and had
problem installing other packages. Whenever I try to install these
packages, I am asked to first do 'apt-get update'. But 'apt-get update'
always gets stuck up as shown below.

Could someone point out why the computer is not able to connect to
security.debian.org? The internet is working perfectly fine otherwise.

Thanks in advance
Regards,
Arvind
