SOLVED: Re: apt-get confused when laptop plugged elsewhere

[Jan Stary <stare@ns.arachne.cz>]

:> 192.168.6.1 is an address aliased as 'server' in my /etc/hosts,
:> but this should not matter. I commented out all lines except localhost
:> in /etc/hosts and rebooted, got DHCP lease, all working, except again
:> apt-get update tries to connect to 192.168.6.1. Why?
:
:Is the 'server' you aliased listed as an archive in sources.list?
:If so apt-get may be seeing a cached address.

Oh. It was /etc/apt/apt/conf:
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.6.1:9999";;

Sotty :-)
