   Yes, well, that's microsoft's fault for calling two entirely   
   different languages 'vb'

   Look at the object having the problem, it will most likely   
   have a proxy property. You can create a proxy class and and   
   provide the users credentials, set the proxy property = to   
   this and you should be able to get through the proxy (NB:   
   this might not be acurate there are examples on the web   
   though)
