If you are using a proxy server, you need to configure Hello Engines! so that it can connect to the Internet via HTTP and FTP.
In most cases, no changes need to be made as most Internet connections work without proxy servers.
Tip: If you are not sure whether you are using a proxy server, click the System Settings button. If your computer is configured correctly, proper settings will be used automatically, and no further changes need to be made.
Make sure you enter your proxy settings into the right section (FTP vs. HTML). If necessary enter a user name and password as well. (This section should only be changed by advanced users. If in doubt, contact your system administrator.)
