Hi,
I installed VMWare Server and the DebianVirtual Machine. I'm running in bridged mode.
While network access seems to be fine via Firefox the Synaptic Package Manager, apt-get and Update Manager are not able to find files to download.
Running sudo apt-get sharutils, gives me the following errors:
root@vmware-bavm:/# sudo apt-get install sharutils
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
sharutils
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 110kB of archives.
After unpacking 393kB of additional disk space will be used.

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
I get similar errors while running the Synaptic Package Manager.
Something does not seem to be right with the network.... I have tried to ftp to various sites from inside an Xterm which works perfectly. The Ethernet is in bridged mode, I am on a Windows XP machine which is connected to the internet using a DSL router.
Thanks in advance for your help!
