"unknown hostname" means some problems with DNS. Does your proxy block 
DNS too?

Well, without you telling us what those settings are we can't really 
confirm this.

If your proxy doesn't even pass DNS through without authentication, then 
you must use a plain IP address of your proxy server in your proxy 
settings - otherwise the proxy settings can't be used (chicken-egg 
problem: proxy server name can't be resolved to authenticate with it to 
let DNS through).

AFAIK all known proxies. It only depends on how the proxies are configured.
