Using Linux 3.2.0-32-generic Ubuntu x86_64 when I tried to update using "apt-get update" I received several error messages for many lines of requests to the us ubuntu archives. It read "could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'". What can I do?

By editing /etc/resolv.conf to remove nameservers and replace with my preferred name servers I was able to connect to the repositories and update using the "apt-get update" command. An example entry that would work is "nameserver 8.8.8.8", which uses the google name servers. After saving the file all processes worked without throwing an error.
