Hello Jukka,

THis seems correct, but I am not sure about the windows-setup at the
moment. I have CCed the inteproxy-devel-list to include more experts in
your question.

It seems that InteProxy cannot find the way out of your network to
contact the remote server. When I was playing with it I had some issues
the the http_proxy environment variable to set right, but I have to
leave that for the pros to answer, I am unsure about the correct
settings.

no, not that I can see.

OK, our InteProxy-Chief-developer is on holiday right now, but I thing
he will have some more hints for you.

Best regrads
