Hi,
I have partially solved my problem as follows.

My PC is behind a firewall so I need to provide some data to the system (proxy 
an so on).
First I have set the proxy under Preferences->Network proxy. Now I can browse 
the Internet with Firefox (under 'connection settings: use system proxy 
settings'). But it is not enough  to upgrade the system. This because the 
process is managed by Superuser (have to insert the passwd). So one have to 
open a terminal and type
sudo -s
(pswd)
export http_proxy=proxy:port
export https_proxy=proxy:port
export ftp_proxy=proxy:port

Now I get the updates with Update manager but the Software manager (i.e.
mintInstall 7.4.4) doesn't work. I don't know why.

Other solutions (i.e. gnome-control-center) don't work for me.
