'Behind' a web server?

Hmm, I'll guess that means that means there is a firewall blocking 
direct outgoing connections and that you are forced to use 
Microsoft proxies for external access (http, ftp).

The config User0 is an example for a config for LP for this 
kind of corp/edu environment.

You could either mean that LP can't find it's own IP address 
(unlikely), or that it can't resolve fqdn addresses to IP 
addresses because it really can't find a DNS server to use. 
I'm guessing the latter.
If I'm right, then it's probably because the DNS server is not 
in your registry, or your environment, or your 'ipconfig /all' 
command, or /etc/resolv.conf, or ... 
It's possible LP is failing to parse some of these if you're 
using an operating system/version it's not familiar with.

Which version of Unix/Windows are you using?

This is not relevant to any of the above, and to your acess 
problems.

'The ftp service' means the ftp service that's available on the 
IIS server, or an ftp service outside? If you mean your IIS 
service, what makes you think it's even running?
If you mean any outside ftp, then it's probably blocked by the 
firewall.

Ftp is not blocked by the UAE firewall, so LP would have had 
nothing to do with that.

My questions:
1) why do you want ftp? Ftp is difficult to set up in that kind 
of environment, even with LP. Many ftp archives these days also 
offer http access; are you sure that possibility won't work for 
you?
2) you should confirm that the relevant ports are actually blocked 
by your firewall. Run master.pl to see this.
3) LP could only be used to give you an ftp service, if the http 
proxy you use allows CONNECT, and even then it is difficult to 
arrange (and I would need to add some code to LP). So far, this 
hasn't been necessary. Use statProxy to see if your proxy has 
this capability.
4) Does your proxy need a password? If so, do you know if it 
requires NTLM authentication?
