+1 on most of what Jeff aid. .NET applications only honor proxy settings if you setup .NET to use a proxy. See this wiki:
http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/wiki/WebProxySetup The .NET SDK moved to .NET 2.0 this year, and we have not updated the article for the latest version, sorry about that. The 2.0 version with VS 2005 and later give you project templates and some generics, the code is not completely moved over yet. It was just time, .NET 1.1 is a tad outdated by now.
