Re: apt-get cannot conect to server: system problem

Man, this is weird, but i don't think is a good idea to put out the ip's  on sources.list if you can just solve dns problem.

Take the nameservers from your /etc/resolv.conf and do a nslookup like that

$nslookup <nameserver> <the_name_you_want_to_query>

and see what you got, maybe a problem on your ISP or just internal network.

no proxy

I solved the problem with `apt-get update` by giving resolved
names in /etc/apt/sources.list like bellow

deb ftp://128.30.2.36/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb ftp://204.152.191.39/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb ftp://35.9.37.225/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb ftp://64.50.236.52/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://130.89.149.225/ etch/updates main contrib non-free

Obviously i have a dns problem. My firefox and epipphany-browser
do no longer rersolve names and give connection time out everytime.
Interestingly konqueror resolves all names. So, the problem is
somewhere in my system. Any tip?
