We are looking for the proxy server's name or IP address and its port.

2. If the Use a proxy server box is checked and the Address box is not empty, note the Address and Port for use in BLAST.  The type of proxy server is HTTP.
3. If the Address field is empty, click the Advanced button to check for more information in the Proxy Settings dialog box.
4. If the only entries are in the Socks boxes, then use them for BLAST proxy settings.  You have a SOCKS proxy server.
