    [SOLVED] Virtualbox - what happened to the repository?

    Since yesterday (?), the repository for virtualbox (deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian oneiric contrib) is unreachable. In fact, a Google search on Virtualbox, and clicking on Oracle VM VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ results in:

    This webpage is not available


    The server at www.virtualbox.org can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Chromium from accessing the network.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.

        I didn't have traceroute installed so I installed it to see how my route to VB compared to yours:
        jerry@jerry-Aspire-7739:~$ traceroute 192.18.128.11
        traceroute to 192.18.128.11 (192.18.128.11), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
        1 ns1.sun.com (192.18.128.11) 57.105 ms 57.474 ms 57.419 ms
        jerry@jerry-Aspire-7739:~$


        So, I decided to see where my packets were going when I try to play a youtube video:
        traceroute to youtube.com (74.125.228.102), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
        1 74.125.228.102 (74.125.228.102) 59.346 ms 55.964 ms 62.722 ms
        jerry@jerry-Aspire-7739:~$


        They didn't list my wireless router box, my ISP, or any other intermediate destination. I must be missing a parameter.
        This makes my delays pinging google or watching youtube videos even more perplexing.

          Jerry, how do you connect to the Internet -- cable or DSL?

          Also, try:
          Code:
          sudo traceroute -T www.google.com
          That causes traceroute to use TCP SYN probes rather than UDP datagrams.

            jerry@jerry-Aspire-7739:~$
            Running it again:

            jerry@jerry-Aspire-7739:~$
            and then again I get the first result. After the 4th line the time between successive lines was 5 second each.

            When I do the original run that gave a single return of the oracle website, it now gives:
            jerry@jerry-Aspire-7739:~$ traceroute www.google.com
            traceroute to www.google.com (173.194.73.103), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

            jerry@jerry-Aspire-7739:~$
            The -T flag demonstrates the lag between lines that I experience between packets when I ping google.com.
