  Please show us what you tried, and what error you received.
  apt-get should be simplest, if you run:
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade
  What error(s) do you see?
  If it is something of the form "host not found" or "host not
 accessible" then that suggests that your system cannot connect
 to the remote sites.
  I guess the obvious thing to do would be to open a web browser
 and see if you can visit 
http://packages.debian.org/ - or whatever
 mirror you're using.
