I cant get any of the package handlers to access the internet.
I am running a foxconn winfast K7S 741mg motherboard.
My internet connection is via eth0 to a d-link adsl router DSL-504T. This is running as the dhcp host. Although konqueror accesses internet fine the D-link box says it has no DHCP clients available.
When I try running adept fetch updates it sits around "waiting for headers 0%" for a long time (5 mins at least) and then returns to main screen with nothing having happened
I have now tried Ubunbtu Edgy Kubuntu edgy and am now running Kubuntu Dapper. briefly the edgy releases all had problems with IPv6 which had to be disabled before the Internet could be accessed. Dapper worked fine for browsing but not for updates.
When installing dapper there was a message about being unable to "check updates" (I think) which I skipped.
I tried the "Manage repositories" and found they were all grey. The top two said they were commented out by installer as they failed to verify. I have now enabled them. This seemed to increase the wait for headers which feels like a timeout.

assigning the job of a nameserver to a simpe router means overburding the little blighter by far ... please, be cute, ask your ISP for a real nameserver's address and update the file accordingly.
