Hello Lists, (see header)
I am using Kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) on my second hdd and three applications, Konqueror, Konverstaion and Kopete (yes, KDE - Kyonki haha) on my MTNL Triband line, without specifying the DNS. The automatically accepted DNS was the IP address of the ADSL Router / Modem. (D-Link 502 T)
I wasn't able to get updates using apt-get because, the command would fetch the first URL and become stagnant with no network activity over the ethernet LED.
I finally, decided to add the DNS servers provided by MTNL, and wow! apt-get could finally understand what it is supposed to connect to and fetched updates.
Phew! Why didn't the K affect the 'K'onsole. Some other underlying protocol, perhaps?
That's strange. I too use Triband with my router IP as nameserver and apt-get works fine. I use Debian sid.
