I am having this prob since morning only and before that everything was normal. I can connect to my Pi through ssh using putty on my windows 7. The problem is when I run sudo apt-get update, it gets stuck as shown in the image below. For once I just gave keyboard interrupt (ctrl + C) and re-run to update and let it as it is, first it shows the same thing as shown above and after a long time it shows as shown in the image and gets stuck forever.

enter image description here

My internet connection is working fine, i can ping google.com, gmail.com, even yahoo.com, but when I try to ping 10.10.5.18 it does not connect.

I have searched this forum and googled everything possible. I understand about apt-get update, but nothing has helped me so far.

Please let me know if anybody understands why this is happening and how can I solve this problem.

    10.10.x.x are intranet addresses (it is not an internet address). Why are you trying to talk to it? Is it a proxy?

  • Actually every time i do apt-get update it tries to connect 10.10.5.18 as shown in the image. And I am not sure what it is.

  • Have a look in /etc/apt/sources.list for the repository address and try pinging by that address by name.

  • I guess I found the solution. Thanks for point it out joan.. It was my proxy issue, which was the problem. Quiet long back I had set proxy for making it work in my office. I just removed the proxy and voila! its getting updated like smooth.. Thanks Joan Once again.
