Temporary failure in name resolution

ping apt.sw.be

Maybe nslookup or dig would be better.

nslookup apt.sw.be

Name Resolution

Name resolution in computer networks

In computer networks, name resolution is used to find a lower level address (such as an IP address) that corresponds to a given higher level address (such as a hostname). Commands that allow name resolution are: nslookup and host. See Domain Name System, OSI Model.

Dear HROAdmin26,

As you said I tried ur commands,

[root@pendora /]# ping apt.sw.be
ping: unknown host apt.sw.be

[root@pendora /]# nslookup apt.sw.be
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Nothing happened my friend what next.
