<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=780170010-18012009>Try
using the "EXPORT" command line to change the proxy settings for the entire
machine - if it works, set up a BASH script or some other devilishly clever
scripting so that when you connect wirelessly it sets the proxy to A, and when
via F0 to B.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi<BR><BR>I am running a recent install of Ubuntu 8.10 x64 on a Dell
XPS M1330 which I use both at work and at home. The issue I am having is
that the works network is behind a proxy but the home one is not. I use a
wired connection (eth0) when at work and the wi-fi (wlan0) when at home. I
can get internet access at home by knocking off the proxy settings in
Firefox and in the preferences menu, but cannot get synaptic or apt-get to
work because it is looking for the works proxy.<BR><BR>I have looked high
and low but cannot find where the proxy details are set for
synaptic/apt.<BR><BR>Is there a straight forward way of getting this set up
to work properly.<BR><BR>Thanks in
advance.<BR><BR>Stu<BR></DIV></DIV><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
