It seems that sometimes proxy access is required? According to my network admin we use transparent proxying so should not need this added. Any ideas where to start looking? I am behind a firewall with very limited ports open for ex. 8080. Could this be an issue?
Cant find tooo much about this and am definitely no java expert!
