Thanks Matma,

I have set that as you suggest.  It didn't help.  I have checked that wget and 
PHP can get the pages from InstantCommons.

The Debug log is not showing any use of the proxy however.  I get:

Are there any other settings that might stop the proxy setting being used - or 
does the use of a proxy not get logged here?  Also, I have PEAR installed and 
email from the Wiki is working, so why is the last line complaining about 
"PEAR_Error not found"?

Authentication how? Using basic HTPP auth? 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication

In this case you would just use a URL like htts://username:password@<our 
proxy>:80/ .
