I recently installed Lucid 10.04 as a guest OS on my Virtualbox [running on a Win. 7 host OS]

I cannot get apt-get update to work, it fails to find the server. I also see Failed to fetch messages when I invoke from the Update Manager.

Interestingly, I can type in the IP into FF browser, and list all the files there.

I believe this has something to do with the virtualbox, but can't determine why FF finds the servers just fine, but the update manager cannot.

When I invoke an apt-get update:

$ sudo apt-get update
