Infrastructure Client - Use IE Proxy settings ?

[9belowzero]

I am trying to connect to my ESX 3i server at home so that i can manage it (port 902 console not required) from my place of work ,however looking at the firewall logs (at work) it is trying to connect straight out over 443 through the firewall/gateway. Obviously 80 & 443 are only allowed through our proxy server

Is there any way to tell the infrastructure client to use our proxy server or use the settings in IE ?

Thanks

Hello,

Moved to ESXi forum.

Actually it does use the proxy settings for port 443 and 80 but it may not for port 902.

Thanks for moving

That is really odd as my default browser is set to use our proxy server and all my web requests go out using this. However on our Checkpoint NGX Firewall it shows my internal IP trying to connect to my home IP over 443 but obviously blocks it. This would mean that the VM client is bypassing my proxy and trying a direct route out through the gateway

I have not bothered with 902 as it seems to only be used when connecting to the console and not required as i have terminal server access to one of my virtuals
