Sounds like a networking problem
Reply 1DNS is not working
Reply 2Your DNS is not working. What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf?
Glad you figured it out
Reply 3Im glad you figured it out.
Have you checked that you have network connectivity? The error suggests that its a network problem so thats a good place to start.
try pinging www.google.com or similar from within your appliance. Does that work?
If you want further help it'd be good to get a bit more info about your setup. Things such as what environment you are using (bare metal/virtual) and if virtual, then which platform (VMware Server/VirtualBox/etc) and what networking you are using (bridged/NAT/host only).
