Java and proxy authentication on xp

[DrDu]

I would like to use Jabref to connect to internet from a windows xp computer.
However, I have to access interent through a proxy which requires authentication.
Although I can pass the ip address and port to java, I didn't find a way to
authenticate. Any ideas?

Thank's

Have you tried everything here? - http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip42.html"

I've only had to set the items below but, my user name and password is probably passed when I connect to my corporate network. I have also seen cases where I had to configure the proxy in IE so that XP would find it.

System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");
System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", "80");
System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", "<Your proxy host address>");
