HELP! Problems with proxy.asp from Macromedia's site and company firewall

[markP]

I'm having problems with the proxy.asp page from Macromedia grabbing the RSS feed and bringing it past my companies firewall. (Below is that script) At least I think it's a firewall issue. What could be the problem? Is there something I can change or add to the asp script to get it past the firewall? I tried to talk to my IS department and they never even heard of RSS (how sad).
Here's the error that gets returned:

Error Type:
(0x80072EE2)
/proxy.asp, line 14


this is line 14:
MyConnection.Send


Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
