Just a thought. I used to have problems with getting Http pages at a previous employer. The problem was that the local proxy required authentication too, and there was no option at the time to specify the proxy username/password. The effect it gave was that the thread hung as it never got a reply back from the web server, while the webserver was patiently waiting for the user to type in the username/password in the popup box that the browser generated. Sadly there was no browser involved to cause a popup, so there was an impasse.
Perhaps their Win2000 server's IP address requires authentication from their proxy, but their test Win2003 does not, thus allowing your HTTP requests to get out. I had to get a hole made in the proxy server that made no requests for proxy authentication if a request came from the web server. Hope this helps some.
