I'm trying to write small asp.net app to pick up and display data from an RSS feed. I've used the code sample available on and modified it into C#.
When I run the app, I get the following (summarised) error message:
Unable to connect to remote server - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
I've tried two different RSS feeds on two different websites, and presume that the problem lies with my network security settings rather than public web servers refusing a connection. I know that there is a proxy server running here, so if I enter username, password and domain of the proxy should that let me talk to the website, or will I need to take further steps?
Thanks,
Mark.
