Proxy with apt question

["Cristov Russell" <wolfsong13@home.com>]

Hi all.

I've done this before but having stepped away from linux a while, can't
figure out what I'm doing wrong now.

I'm trying to connect to the internet through my NT server.  I have WinGate
installed on the server just for this purpose.  The linux box can ping the
server and other computers on the LAN but if I try to upgrade with apt I get
error messages saying that it can't connect to WinGate.  I have set the
export http_proxy="http://wingate:80/"; in /etc/profile and root .bashrc.

TIA
