Hi,
I installed Ubantu 10.10 version through windows XP. Then I set-up my office network settings through "Auto eth0" and also I set up system-->preferances-->network proxy settings. Then I update some of packages thorugh synaptic package manager, it also succeeded. Then I try to update my ubantu release through system-->preferances-->update manager, and I check for updates but it says "check your internet connection" message. My Internet connection is OK. Please help me to find how I update my Ubantu software through internet.

Thanks
Dhammika

NB: I tried to use
sudo apt-get update
cmd, then I received a msg "some index files failed to download they have been ignored...."

If you can't update at all, change your server mirrors (open Synaptic, select Settings>Repositories, and change the "Download from...".

Otherwise, be sure you have your proxy settings right and that you can get online.
Also, it's Ubuntu, not Ubantu.
