: To retrieve internet prices, I had to set FM to use the
: "connect through proxy server" option. I have
: correctly added the IP address of the proxy and set the port (8080) - these are
: the same settings I use in netscape and in another application (AvantGo for
: downloading web pages to a Palm).

: (I'm not using a modem to dial into an ISP; I use a LAN-based connection
: to the internet.)

: However, I always get an error when trying to retrieve prices or when I
: "retrieve status now ..." - the FM error is

: Error: 11004 returned from [gethostbyaddr_prox]

: Setting the "Use Authorization" (which I should need to do given our LAN
: set up) shows the same error. I get the error when trying to connect to any
: of the Quote Servers.

: I originally had this error with version 4.02 and now with 4.2.211.

: Any ideas on how to avoid this error so I can retrieve prices from the internet?

: otherwise, FM is a great product! Thank you.

Steve,
What happens if you specify your proxy server by name, rather than
IP address?

Thanks,
Mark
