Sure, and it's not worth spending time on complex networking issues when you don't ned to. However, you are almost certainly behind a proxy server, and you might like to bear in mind that each application wanting to access the outside world needs to be configured with knowledge of the proxy. Many applications with roots in the Unix world use an environment variable like the above for that, but each application has its own procedure. For example, TortoiseSVN probably has a Settings option on the File menu, and proxy info can be set there. On a company network, most people do not need to configure their web browser because company wizardry has either configured it, or has set up a mechanism whereby the browser can discover the proxy.
