On campus I use the proxy config url '<a href="http://wwwcache.nottingham.ac.uk/proxyall.conf">http://wwwcache.nottingham.ac.uk/proxyall.conf</a>' , also you can set the http proxy to <a href="http://128.243.220.20:3128">128.243.220.20:3128</a> (thats port 3128). I have to use the manual proxy configuration do download files from the Ubuntu repositories on the Uni network, but the proxy url works fine for web browsing.<div>
