Could try making the proxy entry something like:
<domain>\\<username>:<pass>@<proxy> Or maybe a single backslash. We don't use authentication on our proxy so I can't test it out unfortunately. Adam.

I've got him to amend the preferences files, and the client can now connect to the proxy, but a second problem has arisen which may not be fixable. His comment is below: For staff to access the internet from a local laptop they have to put in the domain/username and then there password. And in most programs where you can put proxy details in there is generally a section for authentication. As there isn't a section I get a feeling that this just isn't going to work over our network... Is there a fix, patch or a suggestion to this issue? Does anyone have any experience of this type of proxy?

The only thing I can do is, if I need to make any preferences changes, to then edit the preferences file and change the proxy port number manually. I submitted a bug on the issue but haven't had any response yet. Regards, Adam. P.s Sorry about the previous message. Hit the wrong button!!

Has anyone else seen this, or does anyone know why this happens?
