I'm also using Audiocatalyst through Proxy 2.0 with no problems. Like
Ray, I use the Winsock proxy.

I have had problems with secure web sites before now where the proxy
setting in the browser point at my ISP's cache (I use Demon if you
hadn't noticed). This would often refuse to let me in to secure sites
like Maplin's. It was easily resolved by setting the browser to not use
a proxy for secure connections (note, however, that it always goes via
my Proxy server, it's the ISP's proxy that it bypasses).

Not the same problem really but it might be related. Then again, it
might not. Don't know why I mentioned it, to be honest. Don't get to say
much very often though :(

Actually [can't shut me up, now!] - I did have a couple of problems when
I first installed Audiocatalyst but I changed the CDDB server to point
to one in San Jose. Still not the same problem though. It was refusing
to find my CD's. I'll shut up now.

Erm...bye...
Steve

P.S. I'm using TCP/IP but I have used HTTP.

I'm using MusicMatch JukeBox successfuly through Microsoft Proxy 2.0
Our setup is near identical, with the only difference being that I've
got the Winsock proxy installed, so I didn't need to tell MusicMatch
about the proxy at all (just as well since I've just checked and can't
see how you would tell it to use a proxy).
