Title:
  wget is not working as normal user, but working for root

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: wget

  I am using Ubuntu 10.04, downloaded from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/
  after i install, i set the proxy setting through system-> preferences-> network proxy.

  i restarted machine.

  at terminal, as normal user if i do "wget www.google.com" it is not working, showing connection refuses.
  if i do the same (wget www.google.com) as root i was able to download the page.

  same behavior is observed even after i set export http_proxy=host:port
  ( i was given my proxy and port values).

  
  Thanks in advance
  Naga Samrat Chowdary.
