I am having problem updating my ubuntu 8.10 through the internet due to a proxy server.Also synaptic or any other system task that connects to the internet wont work.
the error when i try to run apt-get in terminal is--
(the full error is mainly a repetion of the following lines-)
Err http://cudlug.cudenver.edu intrepid-updates/multiverse Sources
407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )
Err http://cudlug.cudenver.edu intrepid-updates/universe Sources

W: Failed to fetch http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/ubuntu/di...86/Packages.gz 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. )
I have tried adding
export http_proxy=http://userassword@my.proxy.serverort/
export ftp_proxy=http://userassword@my.proxy.serverort/
to the etc\bash.bashrc file but still i get the same error.
I have also input the proxy configuration and authentication in "SYSTEM-->PREFEPRENCES-->NETWORK PROXY"
Firefox works just fine with the proxy which asks for authentication each time i try to open a site.
I also cant run Limewire,vuze,pidgin.
I think the problem is with the password for the proxy server ---- it contains a "@".(might also be the username-----contains a "\")
PLEASE HELP!!
