[ubuntu-uk] 'apt' Proxy Woes

[Stuart Bird]

Hi

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.

I have looked high and low but cannot find where the proxy details are set for synaptic/apt.

Is there a straight forward way of getting this set up to work properly.

Thanks in advance.

Stu
