apt-get update failing

Duo - sparc - RAIDiator 4.1.10

apt-get update can't resolve any of the package archives - any suggestions?

manator:/# apt-get update
Err http://www.readynas.com 4.1.10/ Packages
Could not resolve 'www.readynas.com'
Err http://archive.debian.org sarge/main Packages
Could not resolve 'archive.debian.org'
... and so on
Failed to fetch http://www.readynas.com/packages/4.1.10/Packages.gz Could not resolve 'www.readynas.com'
Failed to fetch http://www.readynas.com/packages/4.1.10/Release Could not resolve 'www.readynas.com'

... and so on for all the archives
Reading Package Lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Couldn't find package mc

(It'll only allow 8 url's)
Thanks.

Re: apt-get update failing

Check your DNS/gateway settings. It could not resolve the hostnames. I'm guessing you are using a Static IP, not DHCP?

Re: apt-get update failing

Thanks, chirpa. You hit it right on the head. Apparently it didn't like the gateway or dns I picked off the Uverse router. I reset it t o DHCP and it works fine now. As a side benefit?, I was buried in emails from the Duo.
Again, many thanks.
