I tried to update my debian dreamplug server with the command running as root apt-get update and recieved these errors.

Err http://security.debian.org lenny/updates Release.gpg

W: 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

I am able to ping ip addresses but not namespaces. Can't seem to figure out the problem. My /etc/resolv.conf file contains nameserver 192.168.1.2 which is my router.
