However, the browser uses a pac file. It appears this does not translate properly to java. Manually
setting the proxies in java fixes the issue completely.

Good feedback. Some java apps are proxy-stupid, and not only don't pick up the defaulty (IE) web
browser settings, but also don't offer a way to manually set a proxy. In those cases you have to set up
proxy bypass filter exceptions.

Note - when using a proxy.pac file, you may be seeing issues with Windows Update working. On XP PC's,
open a cmd window and type proxycfg. If you see 'direct', it's not using proxy to download windows
updates, it's trying to go direct. Use proxycfg -u to update the bits update system with IE proxy
settings, except when using proxy.pac files. Use proxycfg -p x.x.x.x to manually set the proxy for
windows updates.
