well i guess there are two diff types of proxies, a redirect proxy, and an authentication proxy. the proxy information on the n800 i was told is for a redirect proxy therefore there would be no proxy settings that i can enter for our network. Sys admin also said that making an exception for the ip on my n800 so it could connect without authentication woudlnt work either. He said its probably gotta be something thats done on our companys corporate end...which means beacuse theres nothing i think i can do to get it to work.wish my sys admin would be more helpful...anyways thanks for all the help
