Cannot Install Wine! What gives?

I so far haven't had a really good experience with Ubuntu.  I just formatted 
my hard drive the other day, and switched from Windows 2000, which I no 
longer have access to.  I have tried for several hours to find out how to 
install Wine.  The farthest I can get is a message that says I may have a 
network problem, an older version, or that the repository link may no longer 
exist.  Is Hamilton College blocking the site?  None of the defult 
repository software sources work.

I'm not great with computers, but there was nothing in windows that I wanted 
to do that I wasn't able to figure out.  Now, Ubuntu is my only operating 
system.  I cannot find any sites that have Precise, STEP-by-step (like for a 
baby, or something) Ubuntu help.  It seems at this point my capacity to 
install a basic program (Wine) is a long way off.  Please help.
