2. In the root you will find the file web.config. Edit this file and search for the line with<system.net>. Now copy and paste the following lines and make sure you change the valueproxyaddress to the address of your own proxy server:

 
<system.net>
    <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true"> 
        <proxy bypassonlocal="true" proxyaddress=http://172.32.99.132:8080 /> 
    </defaultProxy> 
</system.net>
 
 
3. Save the file and restart IIS. To reset IIS, click Start > All Programs > Accessories > right-clickCommand Prompt, select Run as administrator, type in iisreset, and press ENTER.
