In the Windows Version I can't configure our proxy. So I can't get the OSM map layer.
Did you try to set http_proxy environment variable?
PS: I'm not a windows user.
I've have it (version 1.1 under Windows) working with a proxy. As Viking uses curl for downloading maps, it's those settings that effect the behaviour. See ENVIRONMENT section in: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html
To set environment variables (for Win XP) see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519
IIRC my http_proxy setting has of the form 'IP:PORT'
Admittedly it might be nicer to have the proxy setting control within Viking (and then passed on to curl), but ATM that is not the case.
Not sure that viking should embed proxy settings. It can be really complex (exclusion, autoconfig...).
IMHO, improvment can be: - better integration with desktop (libproxy?) - replacement of curl by something more integrated (libsoup?)
