first of all, pls examine setting of your DNS --- the file /etc/resolv.conf
Can your resolv the domain name such as www.google.com?
And can you access it? pls try to test the accessability by wget
http://www.google.com.
If it works for you, please try to resolve the domain name of
mirror.pacific.net.au.
if it does not work, try wget http://61.8.0.17/debian.
if it works for your, replace mirror.pacific.net.au with 61.8.0.17 in
/etc/apt/sources.list
run apt-get update and apt-get install openssh-server to install the ssh
server.
anyway, you should try to find out why the DNS does not work or ask the
administrator for help.

Hi,
I've just run up my first linux box and I'm goin ok. Only thing is I
can't get SSH running on it (to enable me to access it from a windows
box using putty or similar). I've tried openssh but of course that is
a client. Can anyone tell me where to start looking. I'm guessing
that it's a daemon that I need to run.
Other problem that I'm getting is if I run aptitude or dselect, I get
a time out when trying to connect to mirror.pacific.net.au. It shows
an IP address of 1.0.0.0 which would suggest to me a problem with
named, however if I ping it, all is fine.
Any suggestions that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers. Steve
