How do I connect to Yahoo through our proxy server in the Datafeed Toolbox?

I am trying to connect to Yahoo through a proxy server.

% simple connect

Connect = yahoo

this gives:

 ??? Error using ==> yahoo.yahoo

 Unable to connect to given URL.

The second format:

%use  the ip and port address

Connect = yahoo('<http://quote.yahoo.com','IP',PORT>)

results in

 ??? Error using ==> yahoo.yahoo

 Unable to retrieve data from given URL.

I would like to use the FETCH function in this case.

The following steps may resolve the issue:

 Go to File -> Preferences -> Web and enter your proxy server address and port. Then use the Yahoo function with the proxy setting.

To find the proxy server host and port, try the following:

- Open Internet Properties (by right-clicking internet browser icon or going to tools-> Internet Options in Internet Explorer).

- Click Connections tab, and select LAN settings.

- Proxy server address and port can be found under Proxy server (if they have been set).
