Problem with updating apt-get ...

[abdo88]

Hey guys, I want to get wine on my Mepis so I tried "apt-get install wine" and it gave me package wine doesn't exist... so I wanted to update apt-get

so I type "apt-get update" and I get the following:

0% [Connecting to apt.mepis.org(1.0.0.0)]

And it doesn't connect and then it says failed because connection timed out...

And my internet is working just fine... So can anyone plz help me....

Thanks

NOTE: I installed the latest Mepis version 3.4-3

Oh and another problem is that i try to enable repositories or add new ones in synaptic ... he keeps trying to connect then fails

Try using Kpackage or whatever that is. It might not make a difference at all, but I got real tired of using Synaptic when I had Mepis and I found that Kpackage worked better .

Please do the following

vi /etc/apt/apt.conf

change the lines within the braces to match your settings
