I guess your local firewall does not allow traffic through the ports
used by z39.50 (like 7090 for LOC). If you can't control the firewall
(or ask for ports like these to be opened) you may have to use your
proxy. BD has no UI to set a proxy, but you can set it by hand.
1. save a search group as a .bdsksearch file (use drag & drop)
2. edit the .bdsksearch file with a plain text editor (such as
TextEdit), add 2 lines to the options dict of the form:
<key>proxy</key>
<string>YOUR PROXY HERE</string>
e.g. for LOC you'd get some lines like:
<key>options</key>
<dict>
<key>proxy</key>
<string>YOUR PROXY HERE</string>
<key>recordSyntax</key>
<string>US MARC</string>
<key>resultEncoding</key>
<string>marc-8</string>
</dict>
3. save the file, and drop it on a BD window
I've never tried it myself, so I can't say if it works.
