Problem in using apt-get

[vnpatriot7]

Hi,

I am a newbie in Linux, so please help me to solve my headache problem. I have had a problem whenever I used apt-get.

Firstly, I want to emphasize that my internet connection is fine. I can surf net by Konqueror browser.

In addition, I have been using NTML to set up proxy and connect to internet since I am behind company proxy

However, I have not managed to update or install any new software through apt-get command or adept.

When I type a command "sudo apt-get update" I have the following errors
"Err http://non-us.debian.org stable/non-US Release.gpg
Could not connect to non-us.debian.org:80 (194.109.137.21,
connection timed out
Err http://ftp.debian.org stable Release.gpg
Could not connect to ftp.debian.org:80 (128.101.240.212), connection timed out
Err http://non-us.debian.org stable/non-US/main Translation-en_ZA"

I tested variety of address in etc/apt/sources.list in many different times but it did not work.

The strangest thing is that I open Adept manager, go to Adept menu, all the following items are disable (can not click):
Manage repositories
Apply changes
Safe upgrade
Full upgrade

By the way, thanks a lot for your time and help.

Hi iwanabeguru, I tested all methods in this forum, but they do not help me.

I had two Linux PC, one works well, the other does not work. Installing NTML is an alternative way of setting proxy in bash file.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your reply

setting this

http_proxy="http://<my.proxy.address>:<proxy port number>"
export http_proxy

in my bash.rc file works for me.
