Thanks for the tip Rob1n bu i think i have got it working now.

at least i think it was me!

I went to my wifi connection and into 'advanced settings' and

where it has the 'auto retrieve dns' box checked, i unchecked it

and entered my primary and secondary dns address' manually

and hit 'save' and then 'finish'

After i done this all of my repositories updated without a prob

Happy days!
