UBUNTU user:

when i'm trying to install anything(here In my case SAMBA) using Synaptic ..it throws an error:

W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tu3.1_i386.deb

i'm a college student and i'm using a proxy server to use internet...
i have a proper username/passwd for using that proxy.

Apart from that when i use "apt-get install samba" , it shows--
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

urgent help required.!!

Try to add these lines to
/etc/apt/apt.conf

Code:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port";
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://username:password@proxy:port";
