eCos on ubuntu - general download problem


All,

I'm a relative newbie to linux and definitely to the eCos operating
system.  I have been getting a particular error while trying to
download the software (using the ecos-install.tcl) that I can't seem
to get around and was wondering if anyone could help.  Here's what I
did in detail:

Download failed. Perhaps you need to set a proxy to
connect via a firewall?

Configure a proxy? [Y/n]
</copied in>

I don't know how to configure a proxy on linux (have tried to look it
up) but no dice so far.  I've tried some intelligent things and I've
tried every entry on the ftp list.  The problem may be that I'm doing
this connected to my universities network.  If anyone can help, even a
suggestion, it's appreciated.  This may be a common newb problem worth
remembering.
