: Hi folks, I hope you can help me with a problem I'm facing when I try to retrieve
: prices from the Internet.

: First of all, I'm using FundManager Version 4.6.218. Also, I'm living overseas,
: but I own US stocks.

: The Internet service Provider here in Dubai, (United Arab Emirates) allows
: access to all websites only through a Proxy Server (this is mainly to prevent
: access to undesirable sites).

: Now, this is what happens when I try to retrieve prices from retrieve prices
: from Yahoo - Adjusted - Historical.

: (1) I click the button for Retrieve and update prices from the Internet.

: (2) I get a dialog box asking for the dates, which I input for the previous month.

: (3) I get a Dialog Box daying "Com: Setting Connection Options".

: (4) Nothing happens for about a minute, until I get another dialog box saying
: "Error: 10060 returned from [connect].

: (5) Finally, when I click OK, a dialog box says "Timed Out".

: That's it -- no retrieving of any prices.

: Also, in the "Internet Retrieve Settings" option, even if I put the Proxy
: Server Name or IP address, I get an error message saying "Error 11001 returned
: from [gethostbyname_prox].

: I think the automatic price retrieve function is great in FundManager, and
: I'm just very disappointed that I can't make use of this feature.

: I need help!!

Hi Masood,
If you must go through a proxy, then you need to use the proxy settings
under "Options/Internet Settings..." as you have tried. Are you sure of
the proxy name that you've specified? Do you have the right port setting?
If you're using a browser, check your proxy settings that you are using
in there, and make them the same in Fund Manager.

Thanks,
Mark
