Telling SkyDemon explicitly about a specific proxy gateway is often necessary on large corporate networks, even with (especially with?) windoze 7 which can be too clever for its own good.

Setup > Planning Options from the menu bar in SD.
Misc tab.
Proxy Server Options button.
You'll have to work out what goes in the boxes for yourselves, as it will depend on the corporate network involved.

Just have to remember to change your password in the SkyDemon settings when you change your system password. Ask me how I know this... 

I know this question has been answered, but thought I'd post the explicit answer as a reminder to myself for later!

Fair enough Tim - thanks!

I can't offer anything more insightful than a suggestion to check the proxy settings in the SkyDemon options, I'm afraid.

Thanks Steve,

I try this out first think on Monday in the Office !

Hi Steve,

why did you not mention this before. I will go and try this on my Office machine first thing on Monday

thanks

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
