Try this in your /etc/apt/sources.lst
deb http://debian.attica.net.nz/debian etch main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
What happens when you do an update. IOW you could have a crook mirror.
If DNS probs, try the opendns servers[1]:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
[1] Even got an ISP that couldn't access google, accessing Google again,
and fast -- what I thought was poor network performance must have been
DNS lookup problems!
