Comment(by duncan):
Ok, so from the log we can see that it is trying to use a direct
connection rather than a proxy. Cabal can use a proxy. It tries to use the
same proxy as internet explorer (by looking in the registry) but you can
also configure it using the environment variable `http_proxy` (or
`HTTP_PROXY`).
BTW, if Windows Vista has a different standard way of configuring the
proxy then perhaps we should look into it more. In XP there does not seem
to be any system wide notion of a default proxy, individual applications
like IE just store their own proxy settings.
