if you manually edit the sources.list at the command line and run
apt-get update from there do you get the same error? Can you post the
complete error and anything that might be relevant from dmesg
/var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog.

Ok, I downloaded sid net installer CD iso image, got into the base
config, then failed in the apt configuration.
I get the error message "Failed to access the Debian archive", on
all the mirrors I was able to select. Admittedly, I did not try
every single one, but 10 or 12 of them, both in US and Germany.
I confirmed I am connected to the internet with ping of other
hosts out there.
Can anyone help me get past this problem? It appears as if it's
not finding the files it's looking for when it tries to query the
sources.
drop to a console and type in
wget http://www.bresciani.ca/~jbresc/amd64-sid-sources.list
put this in /etc/apt/
the apt-get update should work now
the ones in the installer never work for me.
or manually enter sources and use the following (which is what is
in my sources.list file)
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sid main contrib
