Sometime an application needs to be able to use a proxy to run properly. The best approach to do this is the application is able to adapt with the Internet Explorer proxy setting.
However, some applications are not 'smart' enough to get the proxy setting from the IE, therefore, a systems wide setting must be set.
Prior to Windows Vista, systems wide proxy setting is set by using: proxycfg.exe
With Windows Vista, you need to do:
netsh
netsh> winhttp
netsh winhttp> set proxy proxy.domain.tld:8080
Note: You must run this from CMD 'run as administrator'
