Hi All,

maybe I am not the first one putting this on the table.

I have huge problems dealing with Sky Demon (full client, v. 3.0.5.0) behind a corporate firewall/proxy, which prevents, in order:

- maps downloading on first startup;

- maps updates;

- METAR/TAF download

- Cloud data retrieval...

The usual error is 407 - Proxy Authentication required.

I can't see a way to tell SD to use my corporate proxy, nor letting me kick in my corp credentials to get to the Internet. Angry

Using the web version is the alternative, but many tasks are definitely better with the "full" client, which I can use on a desktop with double monitor for an awesome planning experience... Cool

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Solved!

I had to set the proxy settings also with the port used internally by my corp network proxies (not 80, but 8080 in the case).

Thus, supplying the proxy address in the form IPAddr:port (e.g. 192.168.200.1:8080) made the trick.

Thanks for your help!
