how do i install ubuntu applications from behind a firewall
Asked by

Hi,
I have installed Ubuntu in the past at home and succesfully used the synaptic package manager to install tools.
But, now in the office, I have installed Ubuntu and I cannot give it any internet connection - just not permitted.. it is on a special network that has no internet access. I need to installl applications like rpm installer or the alien installer. But I how do i do that?
I hope the question is clear - I can download packages from the internet as .rpm. But the my ubuntu does not have rpm command. it tells me to run apt-get for it and when I do so, it fails that it can't find it.. So, what should I download/install to get this?
I am using Ubuntu 11.0.4..
Thanks and Regards,
shailesh
