Hi, I tried to download charts but it comes back with an error 407, Server requires proxy authentication. Can you please tell me where to specify the proxy?

thanks

SD will use your system proxy setting - there's no way to manually override it.

We use W7/64bit, but the Proxy is on a different machine in the Network, as well as the F/W. There is no autodetectin or somesuch...

Click Start and enter 'Internet Options' into the search box

It says detect automatically .... nothing to cut and paste...

I am sorry to say that all Explorers work (IE, Chrome etc.) with ther current settings, but SD don't. Still have the same error. Are you usin g a specific port, which might have been locked ??

On my Company network our IT geeks have put in something place to prevent access to certain internet sites, although I can access most non risky websites and SD loads and runs fine, I do get the proxy 407 message if SD wants to update a chart, get Notams or update the weather.

In the LAN connections page the "use a proxy server" option is ticked but the only information obviously available is port set to 80.

Now, I'm not too worried about Notams and weather while at work as the lunchtime route planning exercise can be fine tuned at home later, but it would be useful to manually update the charts via download, is that possible?

Failing that, is there a way of finding the proxy settings without bothering our overworked IT gurus?

Thanks
