My internet access is provided by my apartment complex. A few days ago, they set up a firewall to prevent residents from accessing illegal file sharing services (kazaa, morpheus, etc). Since then, I have not been able to run apt-get update on my pc, it always gives me a "forbidden" followed by a "failed to fetch http:..." errors. Here is what I mean...
I also cannot download anything using Adept. I tried using the original sources.list file, as well as switching every address from http to ftp (I found that on ubuntuforums), but nothing seems to work. I have a feeling that it has to be the firewall set up by my complex, because everything was working fine until then. Is there any way of getting around this? Could the problem be something else?
