(1) check the correctness of /etc/resolv.conf
(2) correct /etc/resolv.conf and then try again
If you have no idea, try using opendns:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(3) as a temporary last resort put a suitable line in /etc/hosts given that
host -a ftp.us.debian.org
ftp.us.debian.org A 35.9.37.225
ftp.us.debian.org A 64.50.236.52
ftp.us.debian.org A 64.50.238.52
ftp.us.debian.org A 128.30.2.36
getent hosts security.debian.org
212.211.132.32 security.debian.org
212.211.132.250 security.debian.org
128.31.0.36 security.debian.org
130.89.175.54 security.debian.org
If nothing seem to help: what is your output of
getent hosts ftp.us.debian.org
getent hosts security.debian.org
getent hosts www.google.com
getent hosts www.wikipedia.org
?

it is possible that your restore method is not so good.
