: : Microsoft ISA server was recently added to our network. I have gone to internet settings and chosen to use a proxy server and given a valid authorization. When I try to do a price update (Yahoo historical) I am getting an error that the ISA server is rejecting the request based on the URL. However, I can reach Yahoo historical just fine through my browser. Is the Fund Manager request in some protocol other than HTTP (FTP perhaps?)? Thanks!

: Hi Tom,

: FM uses the HTTP protocol. I don't know much about Microsoft ISA, but
: once a day on your first retrieve FM checks our web site for an update.
: It may be that it is rejecting it based on that? Can you add www.fundmanagersoftware.com
: to your list of acceptable sites somehow?

: What if you try to use the proxy option of "Use Windows Settings", instead
: of manually specifying them. You have to be using FM 6.5 or later for
: this option to be available.

Thanks Mark,

I am using an earlier version, so "use windows settings" is not available. Maybe it is time to upgrade :)

I am not familiar with ISA server either, or firewalls for that matter. I was under the impression that if the IE browser can access the website (it can access both beiley and yahoo), then other programs could also access those websites. I will let you know if and when I figure it out.

Thanks!

Tom
