Ive just installed Mepis 3.4-3.rc4. New Linux user.
Ive tried other distros desperately trying to start working on Linux.
Mepis works until I try to get synaptic or kpackage or apt-get to connect to the net. The repositories are all right. PCLinuxOS same deal.
I'm on ADSL with modem DLink 502T feeding into a router Dlink DI 624 which is then connected to the computer via ethernet. NIC Marvell 88E8053 PCI Express.
Please help
Sorry I should have included

Maybe your Dlink is blocking port 21, or some other port that apt-get needs. I'm not familiar with DLink 502T but perhaps it comes with port 80 (http) open, and other ports blocked. Or somebody has configured it that way?

Are you behind a proxy?
Does say, firefox/google work?
