[wellylug] repository timed out issues

[Steve]

I am running Kubuntu 6.06

I can browse the net perfectly fine, send emails no issues

All other computers on the network have no issues but they are running XP,
the laptop is fine on XP as well.

I will run those commands when I get back to the laptop

Hmmm sounds like something is set up a bit wonky.

What normally happens is your laptop gets (through DHCP) all its network
setup information (its DNS configuration, IP address, default gateway
and all that) and sets itself up on your network. This saves you having
to enter it all manually on your laptop, which can be a chore, epecially
if you're not a whizz-kid and especially on a mobile device like a
laptop where you will be (potentially) plugging in to different networks
wherever you go.

So, either your laptop Linux is manually set up for a network that
doesn't correspond to the one you're trying to connect to, or your
router is not set up correctly.

What Linux distribution are you running? Are you still running Xandros
or have you installed Ubuntu?

Do other PCs on your network get on the network okay (or Windows on your
laptop if you you have it)? If not, this sounds like a job for...

Meanwhile, you could copy and paste the results from these commands into
an email. You will need to be logged in to a command line as root. Don't
worry some of them may say file not found, that's because I don't know
which distro you're running:

ifconfig
iwconfig
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
cat /etc/network/interfaces
