installing NASM on ubuntu 11.10

I am new to linux and want to run an assembly language program using ubuntu 11.10. The installation failed showing the following message

Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
mplayer-skins mplayer libggi2 libgii1 libgii1-target-x youtube-dl
Use ‘apt-get autoremove’ to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
nasm
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1557kB of archives.
After unpacking 2855kB of additional disk space will be used.
Err
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/onieric/main nasm i386 2.09.081 could
not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'.
failed to fetch
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nasm/nasm-2.09.08-1-i386.deb
could not resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'
E: unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with
--fix -missing? 

I am unable to figure out what the problem exactly is?? i would like to mention that i have been using ubuntu through a Live CD and not as an installed OS.

You seem to have problems with your internet connection. Specifically dns resolution. Check your /etc/resolv.conf
