Can't update or install any packages

[strongdrink]

Hello all

I know this has been a problem before, and I looked in several threads with no luck..
When I try to install updates or install a package, it gives me an error "113 No route to hose" .. the same happens with synaptic, software center, update manager, and apt-get.

When I run through a proxy though, it works.. but it is a pain because of how slow it goes

I would think its "NO ROUTE TO HOST" not hose.

Go to terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

you should get something like this:
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain hsd1.wa.comcast.net.
search hsd1.wa.comcast.net.
nameserver 192.168.0.1


you need to set that in the connections properties. Under IPv4 settings, change it to DHCP (addresses only). The boxes to enter a nameserver will be available at that point


Try that

No dice.. I also tried manual and it still does not work

I found that my proxy settings were stored in /ect/apt/apt.conf file, in the form:
Acquire::http::proxy "http://myproxy:8080/"

I found it by grep'ing for my proxy name in the etc/apt folder.

I had nothing in my proxy settings for Auto or Manual, and I had already tried setting them in command line with http_proxy="" etc.

Hope this helps someone.

found this might help

The only other thing would to setup another profile???

It doesn't work despite the profile... is there a way to completely replace all of the apt configs?

Have you recently changed your DNS nameserver? Or your router configuration? Maybe your ISP has changed something.

No, my ISP or I did not change anything.. I found out that the only reason my browser is working is because it's been going through a proxy. But when I turn it off, nothing works.. I have Linux Arch installed on the same box, and everything works like clockwork.

Is there any way to completely reset all of the network settings or something?
