Are you clicking on the button to upgrade to 12.04 (don't do this
unless you really want to do the upgrade) or the button at the bottom
of the dialog which (I think, I have not got access to 11.10) says
"Install Updates"?  This button will just install the latest bug fixes
to your current version, it will not upgrade you to 12.04.

I presume that you do have a working internet connection.  *Exactly*
what is the error that you see?
