Trouble with proxy server CSLA 1.0

I'm using CSLA 1.0 and .Net 1.1, There is a webservice and a client application (WinForms).  I'm pretty shaky on CSLA already and just barely figured out how it fetches and makes all those calls with callbacks.  And it was working perfectly until a user decided to implement a proxy server for all their web stuff.  Now my client application won't connect to the server within their local network.  The webservice is located on my server, and can be accessed fine except when running behind their proxy server.  Their settings for the proxy server are setup in the Internet Explorer Internet Connection settings (you know the LAN Settings?).

Has anyone dealt with this type of setup or know anything about it?  I know that .Net 1.1 already has issues dealing with proxy servers, but there has to be some solution.  It's driving me crazy.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Your best bet is to bypass the proxy server when accessing your server, which can be set in IE.  A web service isn't like a web page at all, and there is no benefit to using a proxy for a web service that I'm aware of.

So in your DataPortal_XYZ methods you're calling a web service?
