System Proxy Setting (was:iTunes Radio perpetually "reading stream")

[John Reinhold]

Thanks for the suggestions.  None of them worked.

However - I did locate my problem...

I have a web proxy set up in my network settings, only the HTTP and 
HTTPS are set to use the proxy.

I use SSH and a server offsite as a proxy for an encrypted tunnel and 
IP shield for my web browsing and email access.

iTunes doesn't like this.  If I turn off the proxy then iTunes will 
stream audio fine.  I don't see a way for Chimera, Safari, or IE to set 
the proxy independantly of the system setting.  Mozilla uses seperate 
proxy settings than the system one...

What I need is iTunes to NOT use the system proxy settings, or to be 
able to set proxies in my browsers without using the system settings...

Any ideas?
