Raspberry Pi Forums

I just got a pi and did my updates and upgrades. Everything was fine for a day or so, then I wanted to install/update python to use the gpio functions. I was getting 404s, so ran update again:
Servers down or some other error?

Thanks! Seth

Those links work fine from here. You seem to have a network problem.

Try sudo apt-get update then try again.

If that doesn't work you have a network problem.

All my fault. iptables rules had been applied to all interfaces, etc.

I have the same problem !!!
With RPI3 Raspbian Jessie
Kernell 4.4.26-v7+ #915 SMP Thu Oct 20 17:08:44 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

After "sudo apt-get update" I have these errors:

sudo ping www.google.com works !
sudo ping 93.93.130.214 works !
sudo ping archive.raspberrypi.org works !
On SD I have 8GB available
even with "sudo apt-get clean" does not change anything

Anyone can tell me how to fix this problem
Thank you

---------------------------------
Maybe can I fix this problem by modifying sources.list (sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list)????

This is my sources.list:
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi

What changes should I do?

I have two RPI3, the first one with ADSL and the second (on a remote site) with router + USB 4G key.
The strange thing is this:
1) The RPI3-first with ADSL 'sudo apt-get update' works
2) The RPI3-second with the 4G USB Stick has the problem described in my post above
The two sources.list files are the same

As already written, with RPI3-second there are no problems because:
On SD I have 8GB available
sudo ping www.google.com works !
sudo ping 93.93.130.214 works !
sudo ping archive.raspberrypi.org works !

Perhaps 'sudo apt-get update' does not find the right directories?
How does the system work?

There are some raspberry/Jessie 'guru' who know how to fix this problem ???
Thank you
Bob

My two RPI3s are located on two different sites about 500km away
I tried to do ping on both and these are the results:
"sudo ping mirrordirector.raspbian.org" both point to the same IP: 93.93.128.193
"sudo ping archive.raspberrypi.org" IP 93.93.128.133 the RPI that with "sudo apt-get update" works; IP 93.93.130.104 the RPI that with "sudo apt-get update" does NOT work
Perhaps to divide traffic on different servers this thing is also correct....
But could this be one of the causes of "sudo apt-get update" failure?

Any suggestions for solving these problems?
Thank you
Bob

404 mean file not found, not a connection problem.

THIS IS NOT A NETWORK PROBLEM!

I am suffering this, must be some file missing or settings problems.

Perhaps a CDN problem. Can anyone post a working ip address of this mirror and archive hostname?

I edited this file, commenting the existing line and adding another. Now get a different error to the one above.
