Connecting to internet through firewall

[Mike]

In my app, I am connecting to the internet using System.Net.WebRequest. One
of our clients has a firewall and our app can't currently connect to the
internet through it. The employees there get prompted for a user name and
password when they try to bring up a web page in Internet Explorer (on the
PC). Is there a way to send a username and password to a firewall or proxy
server using the .NET CF?

You need to use WebProxy class. Take a look at this thread

Thanks. Does anyone know why you can't just put the Proxy settings in the
"Connections" settings in Windows Mobile and have that work for all apps?
Why does my application need to specify the proxy server when it is already
set in Windows Mobile?
