In poking around to figure out what is going on I discovered a proxy
can be configured in the Windows control panel.  There is also a place
to configure one in the Java Control panel.

I found a note suggesting that if you ticked "automatically detect
settings" in the Windows control panel, you might end up with a proxy.

There are three Java system properties.
System.setProperty( "proxySet", "true" );
System.setProperty( "http.proxyHost", proxyHostName );
System.setProperty( "http.proxyPort", Integer.toString( proxyHostPort
) );

It seems all you need to hook up a proxy is its dns name or ip.  Even
though there are about 5 differerent proxy protocols, I gather the
machines sort that out themselves.

I also discovered inside Google Chrome in "under the hood" you can
change proxy settings. However, I think that is just a hook into the
Windows control panel.
