colonel and GGuru, thanks for the help the other night on the ppckitchen chat. I've found that the BuildOS is trying to access my authenticating proxy server, even when I removed that requirement. It's being stored somewhere and I can't figure out how to clear it. What happens is BuildOS times out waiting for the authenticating proxy to respond.

My steps:
I initially tried BuildOS behind an authenticating proxy, and it failed because of that. No problem, I found the threads and understand what's going on there.
I removed the proxy requirement, and it failed again. I'm running Symantec Client Firewall, and it's not blocking anything according to the logs and live monitoring. But it did show that BuildOS was still trying to access the authenticating proxy.

I reinstalled .NET2.0SP1; rebooted a couple times (at home) to try to remove any need for the proxy; opened IE at home so it could set the internet settings that some other apps try to re-use via IE; uninstalled and reinstalled BuildOS. None worked so far.

I tried to find where .NET may be storing the proxy server, but didn't find it yet.

I suggest: I saw you're intending to add proxy support in future. Using the paradigm, "Do the simplest thing that works": it might be simply to let people "reset" the proxy info, or say whether or not to use the IE settings. I don't mind having to avoid the authenticating proxy, but right now I need a way to clear out the cached info. No rush though, I'll keep trying from my side.
