Hi

C# client use proxy only for upload compressed .arc files on server,
not for crawl or download workunit (to avoid problems with proxy
cache). Even if you have set it. Did you have problem with connect to
upload server by proxy too?
On Windows if i good think, client use Internet Explorer settings (im
not sure, but probably Mozilla Firefox use this same setting?), on Unix
systems it read from http_proxy environment variable. 
To set proxy in client, in HTTP proxy server you must write url to
proxy (example: http://proxy.com ) in Port - proxy port.
