Hi! I have just installed Raspbian and I have it hooked up to Ethernet but I can't install anything. I can ping www.google.com but I can't run any apt-get updates or installs. It stops at when it has to connect to mirrordirector.raspbian.org:80. It says the connection times out. Any help will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks a bunch in advance!

Can you surf the Internet?
Does your modem/router have an over enthusiastic firewall?

I can surf the internet so it seems like it is only the apt-get things that don't work. I don't think I have a over enthusiastic firewall. Any ideas?

route -n
cat /etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/resolv.conf # No E in resolve
ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
ping -c 3 google.com

I did all the commands and everything seemed normal. I can ping and everything. This is a fresh install so everything is default. Maybe it has something to do with mirrors?
