I'm getting the following errors when trying to do a simple apt-get update. The servers are online. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Can you resolve other hosts? Try pinging www.google.com If that doesn't work, then your DNS servers/settings are messed up.

I can't ping google.com so it must be the DNS. Do you have any resources for properly configuring DNS that you could link to?

This is a clean install. I can SSH in but nothing out... Shouldn't I be able to ping google.com with a clean install?

Can you ping 8.8.8.8 (one of Googles name servers)?

Well it finally "just started working"... I opened a support ticket and they were looking at it for about 30 minutes and I decided to try another ping and it worked. They have no idea why it didn't work and why it started working but it's been fine ever since, so I guess that good enough for me
