Are you actually behind a proxy server? Only your sysadmin could tell you the specific settings to use behind your own network. Unless you can provide all details here on the setup, we are not much help as we'd only be guessing to get it to work.

Well, not sure why you need to hide your IP but if you want to go thru a proxy, you have to set one up first or use one that someone else allows access to, etc. Why are you wanting to hide your IP? If its for malicious reasons, well, my help will stop now as we don't associate in such ways.

A bit paranoid I take it..
Even thru a proxy that you setup, it will display its IP so from your own connection and ISP, its still going to be your same IP, so unless you can spoof or proxy from outside your own connection.. I still fail to see the point of hassle.
