At my employer, we do not have a hard-coded proxy server name. Instead we point to a proxy configuration URL, e.g.: http://proxyconf.myemployer.com We can do this in IE, Firefox, etc...however NB does not offer this option, In order to get proxy working, I had to open that URL in Notepad, parse it to find the exact proxy server and port for my location and enter it manually, Of course it will break as soon as something in that proxy configuraton URL changes. There should be support for proxy configuration URL in NB
Should be part of Proxy Options redesign.
