I am unable to install updates. When I try to install using Terminal, I get the error "sudo: unable to lookup via gethostbyname()".

I just installed Ubuntu 6.06 on an old computer because Windows 98 updates would not download among other things, but now I still cannot download updates and I get the following error whenever I try to install anything using terminal:
sudo: unable to lookup via gethostbyname()
The automatic update feature does not seem to work. the cursor changes to the working symbol and then changes back to a cursor, but nothing else happens.
Any ideas?
