<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks everyone for your help. As yet I've not managed to get it sorted. When I first got my machine I couldn't get SPM to download anything and someone from IT came and fiddled with it and did something "that I'm not really supposed to do but it seems to work". I've changed the proxy from cache3 but the package manager still seems to be looking for it. I notice that the blog suggests something extra is needed but I don't have time to try this at the moment. I'll try again on Monday (don't work Fridays :) ).<BR>
