I'll try to simplify it for the next version. You have to declare your proxy as follows: http://proxy.unige.ch:3128 My guess is that you forgot to add the "http://" string. You can also avoid using a proxy to access your local server using the Proxy Menu/No proxy.. entry, and setting it up as: cuisung.unige.ch No need to put http:// in this case. Thanks for the report and followup :) -Jose
