Tried the above, to no avail, so have reverted to original /etc/hosts thus: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 mycomputer.mydomain mycomputer # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts Interestingly, have been able to solve the surfing problem in iceweasel by setting the network settings in iceweasel: Network -> Settings -> No Proxy Originally set to 'use system proxy settings' So I think this is a big clue. Apt still says it cannot resolve any of the repositories, and I don't have any proxies configured (that I know of). Hmm. -- Cheers
