Subject: [Hampshire] Unable to access debian archives
I have just installed Sidux on the Compaq Evo N160 I collected from
James today but cannot do an apt-get update getting errors like
'Temporary failure resolving ftp.uk.debian.org@ and so on

I have /etc/resolv.conf set up with the default Zen nameservers as
on other boxes including another Sidux one and can ping 212.23.6.100
no bother.

I can also ping the IP address of the Debian archive, 83.142.228.128,
but not if I use the name.

It looks like name resolving isn't working but cannot think why?
Clues please
