Maybe this is just a temporary problem, so I'd try again. If it still doesn't work, make sure you have valid nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf.

[Rakesh055]

Can i know how are you trying to update?

whether using LAN or Some wireless device?

If LAN, Who is the ISP Provider?

[volkswagner]

There are a couple people, including myself that have seen this issue. For myself there was no reference to gateway in /etc/network/interfaces.

[Rakesh055]

you can change the gateway in /etc/resolv.conf

can you checkout what is there in cat /etc/resolv.conf

[falko]

you can change the gateway in /etc/resolv.conf

resolv.conf is for setting nameservers. The gateway has to be set in /etc/network/interfaces.

[Rakesh055]

ya when you connect to a LAN for internet, we need to change first DNS address to get connected to internet, i think.


I have tried only this way.

in the /etc/network/interfaces we can change the network settings. which i have seen. i'm not exactly sure.

[sunil0683]

Problem is resolved it's because of websense. We removed websense and tryied it working fine.

[Rakesh055]

oh thats good to listen.


can i know what is websense? what to be changed and other details of it?
