What happens if you run (from the command line): export http_proxy='http://name:abc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:8080' synaptic You may be able to set this in /etc/apt.conf. I run x86_64, which apt doesn't understand, so I can't test this. Similarly, I can't tell whether you'd have to be root to try the above. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | Examiner: How does an AC motor start? @westexe.demon.co.uk | Student: vrrrrrrrrrrRrRRRRRRR... | Examiner: Stop! Stop! | Student: RRRRRRRmmmmm.
