Please do the following and send me the result.
Run cmd (Start | Run, enter cmd) - hope you have W2K or better.
Type: telnet
Type: set LOCAL_ECHO
Type: open <proxy> <port>
<proxy> is the host name of your proxy
<port> is the port where the proxy server listens
Type:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: <proxy>
<enter>
<enter> means entering epmty row - just hit enter
And send me the response of your proxy server. Looks your proxy is using
auth scheme not supported by pRSSreader.
If in troubles, ask me for details.
