[kde-linux] Why does apt-get fail

[Charlie Bradley]

This may not be the right list so forgive me.
I use Kubuntu and everytime try to run apt-get update it fails to connect to 
the repositories.  So I have to go to KDE>sytstem settings>network settings 
and go into administrator mode.  Then to the domain name sytem tab and edit 
the dns server names.  I always find two addresses here.  The ip address of 
the modem and one DNS address.  In order for apt-get to work I have add the 
second DNS address and remove the IP addy. 

Why is it that <network settings> grabs the IP addy instead of the second DNS 
addy??
I have a feeling it has something to do with the actiontec modem setup.
