Getting out of a proxy server

[Guhan Ramanan]

Hello!
I have a proxyserver called PROXYSERVER and that is connected to the Net.
I tried the following code and it gave me a UnknownHostException. How do i resolve it?
// Code follows
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
class InetTest
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
{
Properties prop=System.getProperties();
prop.put("Http.proxyHost","PROXYSERVER");
prop.put("http.proxyPort","80");
Properties prop1=System.getProperties();
System.setProperties(prop1);
System.out.println(prop1);


InetAddress Address=InetAddress.getLocalHost();
String abcd=Address.getHostAddress();
//String abcd = InetAddress.getHostName();

System.out.println(abcd);
Address = InetAddress.getByName("www.hotmail.com");
System.out.println(Address);
}
}
I get local host name and the property has been added but still there is the exception.
Plz help..

Hi
Even I had the same problem earlier . But after installing the microsoft proxy client on to my system, the program worked perfectly without any problem .
Try installing the proxy client from ur server . Its a software that is available on the server . In case you are unable to undestand what is the funda behind the proxy client .Contact ur server administrator he will install it for u .
