2. Click "Settings" in the left pane.

3. Click "Settings" in the right pane.

4. Under "Automation" - "Web Update", check "Use proxy to connect to update server".

5. A "Proxy settings" dialog will appear, prompting you for the proxy server host and port. If the proxy server needs authentication, you can enter the proxy server user name and password.

6. Click "Ok" to close the dialog box.
