Webproxy problem.

[pax]

Hi.

I have asked this once before, and I did get some replies, but unfortunatly none that worked.

How to use webproxy and webrequest?
I just get a timeout exception.
I have also tried to set the proxy manual. Then I don't get the timeout, but "an unexpected error occured during recive".

I found this sample on MSDN

Dim sURL As String
        sURL = "http://www.microsoft.com"
 
        Dim wrGETURL As WebRequest
        wrGETURL = WebRequest.Create(sURL)
 
        wrGETURL.Proxy = WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy()
 
        Dim objStream As Stream
        objStream = wrGETURL.GetResponse.GetResponseStream()
 
        Dim objReader As New StreamReader(objStream)
        Dim sLine As String = ""
        Dim i As Integer = 0
 
        Do While Not sLine Is Nothing
            i += 1
            sLine = objReader.ReadLine
            If Not sLine Is Nothing Then
                Console.WriteLine("{0}:{1}", i, sLine)
            End If
        Loop
 
        Console.ReadLine()

I figured, "hey, ms made it, so it must work...". Well, it didn't. At least not for me.

Here's some screenshots of my proxy settings in IE.



Can anyone help me with this?
