Have you added those DVDs to the apt system with apt-cdrom?
If you have, then there's a problem. If you haven't then there's your
problem :)
Once you've used apt-cdrom to add the cd/dvds successfully, then apt
will know about it, you'll see an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list for
each CD. Apt should then use the cd/dvd in preference to using the
internet for the same package.
