I tried http_proxy=http_proxyURL:port/
similarly for ftp_proxy etc
I couldn't find any settings on GUI settings panel.
But I couldn't get opkg update to work. It fails in resolving http
URLs according to its output.
I was able to set proxy for firefox by changing its network settings
and am able to access net.
My internet access is through USB0.
Can anyone help me with this?
Hi!

Did you export the http_proxy and ftp_proxy correctly? -
~$ export http_proxy="http://your_proxy_address:port"
~$ export ftp_proxy="http://your_proxy_address:port"
Best is to add these to your .bashrc file

Can you access the repositories over firefox? Check the URL (or file) that the opkg package manager is trying to access, and see if firefox can access it. Ensure that the repository itself is accessible.
Can anyone help me with this?
I face similar problems behind a corporate proxy. Sometimes, repositories become inaccessible through the command line. I have no real idea why this happens (they are accessible through firefox).

bashrc?
When I did readlink /bin/sh it showed link to busybox. How to find out
what shell is being used?
I tried this again after restarting and now it seems to work. Only
problem is it doesn't have a progress bar or anything that gives info
on network activity like on apt-get update(% and download speed etc).
So its difficult to tell if it got stuck or if there is some problem
with network, which has to be rectified by me. Are there some switches
to enable this?
how do I set proxy for the gui package manager (gpe-package). Does
this work like synaptic on ubuntu, i.e it gets list of applications
from online repositories?
