Just how long does it sit there?
It should timeout after about 4 minutes... Apt-get update is probably hanging on an out of date mirror string.
It is waiting for DNS timeout, and FTP/HTTP timeout...
Try the "archive.progeny.com "
Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and put in a set of the following.
For Stable(Woody) use:
deb ftp://archive.progeny.com/debian stable main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://archive.progeny.com/debian stable main non-free contrib
For Testing(Sarge) use:
deb ftp://archive.progeny.com/debian testing main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://archive.progeny.com/debian testing main non-free contrib
For Unstable(Sid) use:
deb ftp://archive.progeny.com/debian unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://archive.progeny.com/debian unstable main non-free contrib
Always good to use these...
For Debian Security use:
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
And for Java:
deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/debian woody non-free
The do:
apt-get update
apt-get -u upgrade or apt-get -u dist-upgrade
Follow prompts from there.

Thanks. I found what the problem is... When it boots i have net... Passing some minutes i don't...
I can't ping nothing, only the LAN

Please take a look at the file /etc/network/interfaces
Code:
If you have something like this... then you should be fine... if it is
Code:
If you have something like that... do ifdown eth0 wait a few seconds then do ifup eth0
See if that takes care of the issue. Other than that... without more info on your DHCP server or you "LAN" we can't see into your mind ... though I'd like that ability to read most people's minds.... :x
Code:
### etherconf DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT.auto lo eth0iface lo inet loopbackiface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.90 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1### END OF DEBCONF AREA. PLACE YOUR EDITS BELOW; THEY WILL BE PRESERVED.

Better:
I installed Debian Woody. i have this pc (Gateway) and a pc in my room connected to a switch (switch connected to this PC). When i make apt-get or when i'm going to see a site, the internet goes down. This PC lan IP is 192.168.0.1, and i putted it as the gateway on the Debian machine. The Debian machine is 192.168.0.2. I configured the DNS also...

I have Red Hat in the gateway. When i installed redhat in this pc the network worked perfectly!!!
When i tryed to install gentoo... It didn't worked again. I think the problem is the gateway. 8)
