While updating Ubuntu 16.04, I face the following error:

W: Failed to fetch http://172.0.1.201/ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease  Could not connect to 172.0.1.201:80 (172.0.1.201), connection timed out

What should I do to solve this problem?

    Why did you use repository from `172.0.1.201`? It is much better to use repositories that is offical. – Cynplytholowazy Sep 17 '17 at 10:07

It seems that 172.0.1.201 is currently down.

Open your /etc/apt/sources.list using nano:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and replace http://172.0.1.201/ with http://archive.ubuntu.com/.
