Val,

if you need to get jboss to force its way through a firewall with a proxy 
server, then you need to set the details in the run.bat  (or run.sh) file 
at startup. This example should show you what you need to do. You need to 
add the second set JAVA_OPTS line.

rem Setup JBoss sepecific properties
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME%
set JAVA_OPTS=-Dhttp.proxyHost="server.name.host.com" 
-Dhttp.proxyPort="8080" -Dhttp.proxyUser="username" 
-Dhttp.proxyPassword="password" %JAVA_OPTS%
set JBOSS_HOME=%DIRNAME%\..

This then allows any applications running on  the server to access the 
internet via your proxy.
