Steve,

not sure how things are at EBI these days but  back in the days, if you are
connecting an external URL (ensembl.org via webservice), you need to set
proxy="wwwcache.something.something.uk:8080"

set this attribute in MartURLLocation element and see if works for you ?

It it fixes it, Matthew's problem will be solved too - i think.

Best,
Syed
