I had a problem today which I thought I would share with you.
When I was using 'apt-get update' it kept trying to connect to the IP address 1.0.0.0.
This is the message I got:
Code:
# apt-get update
Err http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
Could not connect to ftp.us.debian.org:80 (1.0.0.0),
connection timed out

0% [Connecting to secure-testing.debian.net (1.0.0.0)]
[Connecting to ftp.us.debian.org (1.0.0.0)]
[1]+ Stopped apt-get update
This is how I fixed it:
From GNOME... System > Admistration > Networking > DNS
I then removed the DNS server 10.1.1.1 (my D-Link Router) and manually added xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, which are my ISP's DNS servers. (Substitute x & y for your own ISP's DNS servers)
After a reboot 'apt-get update' worked fine.
Hope that helps somebody.
The problem happened on Ubuntu and Fedora Core.

Fix: 'apt-get update' dns resolves to 1.0.0.0
