Turns out I had dot net 3.0 (latest is 3.5) installed on my machine.

With 3.0, the message I get from BuildOS is "Server Unavailable, The request failed with HTTP status 407: Proxy Authentication Required". I was never prompted for credentials by the tool. When I click the OK button, I get a message that says "Login has expired". Clicking OK again, BuildOS terminates -- I'm not seeing what others said here which is that BuildOS would continue on and run anyway.

In Updater, with no manually entered settings (only automatic chosen in the list above), I get the following: updatere pops up with a window "Authentication Needed" and a place for an ID and password. I fill them in as documented in my last message (mydomain\myid, password). If I tick "save credentials" it does in fact copy what I've typed into settings.ini in unencrypted plain text. After clicking "OK" I get a message "Can't connect to server". Hitting "more" shows the message "Probably the server that is hosting the update is offline or unreachable. Please try again at a later time." Clicking OK here ends updater.


I'm DL'ing 3.5 now and will post if symptoms are different on it.

It seems obvious to me that it is not happy talking to the proxy for some reason. I know we use a firewall called "CHECKPOINT" and there is nothing fancy in the Internet Explorer/Microsoft internet options firewall settings.
