Can you also please not post in all caps! It's harder to read and looks like you are SHOUTING! Take your finger off the SHIFT key and it makes everything ok.

Please add an apt wide proxy set... and retry from terminal type:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy

and put in this file a row like this substitute the ip and the port with your settings:

Acquire::http::proxy "http://192.168.1.40:3128/";

or if your proxy need a ser and password put this row:

Acquire::http::proxy "http://user:password@proxy_ip:proxy_port/";
