Hi, I seem to be having a problem with my network. I've just installed a Linux box running slink, and have a nice 3C905 100TX card in it to connect to my network here at work. But, the network seems to be slower than molasses. When I use dselect to run apt and update the file lists, I get a whole string of 404 not found errors. So I switched to using ftp as my access method. Well, I've been trying for three days to update about 10 packages. The ftp download goes like molasses and I get a whole bunch of FTP errors.
I've set up my gateway address (I think) correctly, and my nameserver is right (I'm pretty sure). So, on to my cries for help: 1) Any ideas as to what I could try to make my connection to the network faster? 2) We have to go through an HTTP proxy for http access. I know that I can set the procy and port in the apt.conf file--what do I put if the proxy is an automatic one (which means I don't know what port it is)?
