but pardon me for my stupidity..
well actually the forrest.properties in FORREST_HOME/site-author doesnt have the
# Proxy configuration
# proxy.host=
# proxy.port=
text at all.
I guessed, probably correctly, that the file should be the one mentioned in FORREST_HOME/main/fresh-site?
or may I know where the file is?
morever i use windows XP Professional. and been using JAVA for quite a while ;)
so the problem i guess is not with environment variables but it lies somewhere else..

Environment variables are part of your Operating System not part of
Forrest. How you set them depends on your OS, see your OS documentation.

The clue is in the Error message:
"If you are behind a firewall then set the proxy.host
and proxy.port values in the forrest.properties file."
Look in your forrest.properties file the properties are in there and
commented:
# Proxy configuration
# proxy.host=
# proxy.port=
Just uncomment the two properties and set them accordingly for your
firewall.
