It would be really useful if you could find out the proxy app, so I could reproduce the problem here & hopefully find a workaround.
I am mistaken. It was a proxy server in the past, it is not now.
If I check Internet Properties, Connections - I just see "Local Area Network (LAN) settings button non-greyed out"
If I go in, I see
"Automatically detect settings" checked
"use automatic configuration script" checked
"Proxy Server" box is unchecked
There is a downloadable script in the Address box.
If I download that and look at it, it is of the form
>>
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (shExpMatch( host, "urladdress1*") ||
shExpMatch(host, "urladdress2*") ||
:
shExpMatch(host, "urladdressN*")
)
return "PROXY 172.16.191.194:80";
else if (shExpMatch( host, "nexturladdress1*") ||
shExpMatch(host, "nexturladdress2*") ||
:
shExpMatch(host, "nexturladdressN*") ||
dnsDomainIs(host, "domain1") ||
:
dnsDomainIs(host, "domainN") ||
isInNet(host, "172.31.0.116", "255.255.255.255") ||
isInNet(host, "10.105.0.0", "255.255.0.0") ||
:
)
return "DIRECT";
else if( url.substring(0, 5) == "http:" )
{
return "PROXY 172.16.191.194:80";
}
else if( url.substring(0, 6) == "https:" )
{
return "PROXY 172.16.191.194:80";
}
else if( url.substring(0, 4) == "ftp:" )
{
return "PROXY 172.16.191.194:80; DIRECT";
}
else
{
return "DIRECT";
}
}

Looks like Java to me.
I then had a bright idea. I added
http://jpsoft.com and
ftp://jpsoft.com
to Trusted Sites, rebooted, checked that they still were present (they were) and tried registering again. Still did not work.
