You need to set your proxy setting in your Mac OS X System Preferences,
in the Networking preference panel. We know that the current user
experience of setting up proxies under Mac OS X is far from ideal, but
Apple has improved the UI in Mac OS X 10.1.

Subject: Failing to remember prefs
I've just moved to Mac OS X, and I had to reinstall last night - I
reinstalled, installed Developer tools and the 10.0.4 update and now IE
(build 5502, 5.1b1) won't remember Proxy preferences. I enter the http
proxy and port, hit okay and then in the preferences window I see my
choice, and because 'web proxy for all' is checked I see the same proxy
URL in the other proxy entries, but dimmed. So far so good... I then hit
Okay, reopen the dialog and in the proxies panel the web proxy is now
unchecked and emtpy but all the others are now checked and have the URL
I'd entered in web proxy in their entry... If I open the settings for
web proxy I see that my user name and password is still there...
I'm confused, and unable to access the web... Irritatingly, yesterday
(pre reinstall) it worked. The proxies panel couldn't remember sites you
wanted to connect to directly, but it could remember the proxy.
I went to com.apple.internetconfig.plist and deleted all the prefs
there, which did reset the browser colour, so I presume that all the
prefs were reset. It still didn't work after this...
Any thoughts?
Matt
