Set global proxy parameters

Having issues with setting proxy entires on your linux distribution?.
This is at least one way to successfully do it.

Put these line at the end of your /etc/bash.bashrc file :

export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.netport/ 

Another way that should be working is to add the proxy parameters specified above to the ~/.bashrc file.
