Doing a bit of learning at home with my Linux box and for the second time today I am trying to install a package via apt-get and I get a:

Temporary failure resolving 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com' message.

I was trying to install iostat via: sudo apt-get install systat

I've tried setting the dns on the server to 8.8.8.8 as the internet suggested but still cant get some packages via that repository.

Hmm solved it by flushing my iptables rules!

Although want to figure out how to deny all by allow apt-get. I opened up port 80 but that didn't work.
