You want to use the Display Manager or FDO providers for WFS and WMS features. However, your network uses a proxy server.

You can add a system variable that will allow connections through the proxy server. Follow these steps: 

Note: You can only apply this workaround if no username and password are required.

  1. Click Start menu (Windows) > Settings > Control Panel.
  2. Double-click System.
  3. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced Tab.
  4. On the Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button.
  5. On the Environment Variables tab, under the System Variables, click New.
  6. In the Variable Name box, enter all_proxy
  7. In the Variable Value box, enter one of the following:
    • http://IPAddress:PortNumber
      OR
    • IPAddress:PortNumber
