Try using:

HTTPSocket useProxyServerNamed: 'yourproxy.yourdomain.com' port: 80.

You need to type this into a workspace, substituting your correct proxy
server name between the single quotes, and your correct port number.

Then select to highlight the text and "Do It" to execute it.
Don't forget to save the image after you do this, or you will have to do
this each time you come into Squeak.
