This is too late to help you. Glad to read that you have fixed your
problem. But for the archive and others who search later let me add
this hint. You can dump your current APT config settings and look for
any proxy settings. For example:
$ apt-config dump | grep -i proxy
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.230.109:3142";;
I am sure that if you saw that or similarly other settings that it
would have led you to the problem quickly.
