specifying an intranet proxy

i find it hard to believe that the obi device is not connecting to the internet.
It is connecting to the internet but it's not connecting to the web (i.e. it's not using http). When you connect through a browser you're using the http protocol to connect to the web. The OBI doesn't. It uses SIP or XMPP (for Google Voice) protocols. If the intranet blocks SIP and/or XMPP you may be out of luck.
The only proxy setting in the OBI config are for a SIP proxy that works for a specific SIP server. For example, "siprovider.com" might use a proxy of "proxy.sipprovider.com".

i've hooked up the obi device on this network i've written of in the above posts.
i can login via the wifi on my phone to my obitalk account, but it just keeps saying acquiring service.
in order to use the wifi on my phone, i've had to specify the intranet proxy as mentioned. this allows me to have internet access on my phone/computer. can someone describe how i can get the obi device connected with a way to specify the intranet proxy to have a connection? ???

for my situation, i have replied also to http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=537.0 , because the echo test (222-222-222 and **9-222-222-222) is failing for me. "no service available to ... ". any ideas ???

Start by getting some sort of VoIP to work from a PC -- you have much better tools available, both for penetrating the firewall and for troubleshooting. Once we find something that works, we can see if there is a way for the OBi to do it.
I recommend trying: Skype, Yahoo! Voice, Gmail, a free PBXes account (try port 5060 and port 36999, then their VPN, use X-Lite to test).
If none of the above works, see if any kind of VPN works; then try a SIP provider through that.
You might ask the university if there is a SIP proxy on the intranet.
If you can't get any kind of VoIP to work, some sort of calling card or callback system may be best. Do you have a way to receive a call at no cost, on your mobile or a school phone?

from a pc, i have specified the intranet proxy in my browser. there are 4 of the intranet proxies the university has provided (all on port 8000), but i don't know if they are all for http. with the proxy specified, i can browse gmail (as well as use its gv web app). since this is the case, how would you like me to test gmail with the obi since it works on my computer?
there is no cost to receive phones on the school phone line i have.
