I found a solution to this in the J/Link section of the help browser
(section 1.2.16). I just needed to replace proxy.mycompany.com with my
university proxy details in: Needs["JLink`"] and
SetInternetProxy["proxy.mycompany.com", 8080]. And then all the web
service stuff works fine. Hope the info may help others that get caught
out, Daryl
