Ideally you can have the global Proxy settings set up in IE's Internet Options. Typically these are global proxy settings for the machine that are either set up in IE or by administrators and apply to all applications that use Web access and use auto-proxy configuration (which IE does by default).

I would urge going down that path or if that doesn't work pop up the IE Network dialog and let the user configure the proxy settings there rather than managing it from your own code.

You can do:

lcCmd = "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL inetcpl.cpl,,4"
RUN &lcCmd

The last parameter is the page of the dialog - on Windows 7 it's page 4 that holds connection settings. I think it's page 3 on XP.
