[LUG] apt-get the jouney continues

 

Hi

As many of you know, I have been having problems connecting to the internet. 
It has been an interesting journey to say the least. It seems there was a 
conflict with ipv6 which has now been taken care of. However, I am still 
experiencing difficulties connecting to apt-get. It says network is 
unreachable. I am connecting to the net through a router/modem and d-link 
switch. I don't think these are the problems because I have a Mac that 
connects without any problems.

I have two computers with the same problems. One now has a static IP address 
and the other connects through dhcp. Does apt-get use its own dns servers 
when connecting to the net please? How can I set dns servers please? What I 
would like to be able to do is to set the router address and also the dns 
addresses for my isp and tell apt-get to connect through that.

Many thanks.
