Hello,
I am developing an application / applet for OS X 10.1.3 with the java update.

At home:
It runs both ways on my pc. It also runs fine at home from my mac.

At work:
When I bring my laptop into work, I cannot get it to run.
I can ping the server from my mac.
When I try to run, I get a FileNotFoundException.
The only real difference is that I have to go through a proxy.

I have read the Java site which states:
<font color = blue>
To go through your proxy server use this piece of code in your servlet:
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.put("http.proxyHost","your-proxy-host");
prop.put("http.proxyPort","proxy-port");
Then use URLConnection or HttpURLConnection.
</font>

This did not seems to work? Has anyone had success at connecting through a proxy? Any help/ideas would be really appreciated.

If I can show this works, I may be able to get my company to open up it services beyond it's current pc ONLY base.

Right now we tell our few people who use macs (100 out of thousands) to run virtual PC, install Java, then run our application.

Jeff,

If you're still looking for an answer to this, here's what works for me:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier>
...
prop.put(<font color = red>"firewallHost"</font>,<font color = red>"my-proxy-host-name"</font>);
prop.put(<font color = red>"firewallPort"</font>,<font color = red>"my-proxy-port-number"</font>);
prop.put(<font color = red>"firewallSet"</font>,<font color = red>"true"</font>);
...
</font>[/code]

Hope this helps you out.

No .... it did not work.

I appreciate the help though. Thanks.
I am still looking for an answer. Hopefully,
