I have a similar arrangement. I have the following in my /etc/apt/apt.conf file: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://web-proxy:8088/"; Acquire::http::Proxy::debdepot DIRECT; The first says use the proxy "web-proxy" on port 8088 which is our configuration. The second says don't use the proxy for that particular machine name "debdepot" since I run a local mirror there. > Do I need to put username and password for proxy? Not usually. Bob
