I am getting various 401 auth errors when trying to sudo apt-get update. I am connected to my corp vpn and have an SSH into my Ubuntu machine.

How can I authenticate using my network login/pw to complete 1) apt-get update and 2) updates to a newer dist?

You are behind a proxy. You question has been answered here. You'll also find more information in the AptGet Howto. – zwets Mar 12 '13 at 05:40
Sorry, what if I don't know the proxy address/port? All I know is I am connected to VPN. Is there an easy way to find the proxy URL and ports? – Ray Mar 12 '13 at 16:21
