weird...

the only time that has happened to me (or anything like it) is when I had a bad network connection...

1) are you running a firewall on your machine? (firestarter, etc.)

2) what connects to the outside on your network? (router, ...)

no firewall

it could be the firewall on the outside network cos im at uni so it might be that end... if is then either i email if not i just wait to im at home to download ne software....

[lockenkeyster]

the network's connection to the internet is my best guess, although it sounds kind of strange... have you ever had problems downloading things through this setup before? Like, maybe a really big file?

Do you need a HTTP Proxy to surf the web?

[tiiim]

Do you need a HTTP Proxy to surf the web?
i do!

under networking i use dchp but on firefox i have to have a proxy for the web.

[fng]

Go to a terminal and type :
$ sudo export http_proxy="http://proxy.ubuntu.org:8080"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install program
That should do the trick.

The only problem is, that the http_proxy var will be gonna, everytime you reboor, logout, or, ... It is best to put it into bash.bashrc so it would get loaded everytime you login.

you need to replace proxy.ubuntu.org with your own proxy :)
and 8080 with your own proxy's port
