Setting Auto Proxy in Force.com IDE behind VPN - eclipse

I work remotely, so I always have to connect to COrporate VPN.
I'm having issues with proxy setting that are needed for Force.com IDE.
I was able to access Salesforce.com both sandboxes and production from IE, Chrome or firefox, but not able to connect using force.com IDE/Eclipse.
I tried to check for proxy settings in Internet Options, but all I can see is "Automatically Detect Settings" is selected and nothing else.
I tried calling my company helpdesk and they are asking me to call either Salesforce/Eclipse teams to find what is wrong with it. :)
So not sure how to get proxy host and port details.

Go to “Window –> Preferences”
Preferences box prompt out, choose “Network Connections”
Select “Manual” from Action Provider drop down list
Select Http in the List and click “Edit” button
Fill in the proxy server host and port number, (fill in the username and
password if any)
Ok, Done.

Mirth NextGen Connect desktop upper bar menu Server Manger links to wrong install of the Admin UI?

Having problem where the Mirth Connect Server Manager UI points to an earlier, non-working install version of the Admin interface.
Installed Mirth once and had to reinstall because the original install had set the password requirements to something that the default admin account could not pass. When I did this, the installer said that it detected that Mirth was already installed and asked if I wanted to re-install and I said yes. However, the Admin UI that the Mirth Connect Server Manager windows that remains in the upper menu bar of my desktop still appears to be using the old install with the password issue.
The Mirth Connect Server Manager icon in the upper menu bar takes me to wrong setup. Can't log in from the Admin UI that this bring up (told can't authenticate or connect (which was the problem I had with the earlier install)).
Need to use the Program from here
and make sure that I chose the right one, then I am able to use the default admin account to log in and proceed as normal.
Anyone know how to fix this (eg. somewhere in the underlying files where I can change this)? Anything else I should check that may be messed up due to this problem that I may not be noticing? I am on Ubuntu 18.04.4LTS MATE.
In the installation folder\conf\mirth.properties file, change the HTTP and HTTPS ports to values different from the prior one. Get to your browser type localaddress:new_http port then click on the icon -launch Mirth Connect administrator. Clicking the saved shortcut will launch an admin launcher which will allow you to edit and save the functional instance.

Cannot install ADT plugin because Eclipse cannot connect to Internet.

I cannot install the ADT plugin on 64-bit Eclipse on Windows because Eclipse cannot connect to the internet. Consequently, I always get the error Unable to find Repository.
I checked to confirm that it is indeed Eclipse which cannot connect to the internet since the internal web browser cannot seem to connect to any sites.
Also, attempting to go to a site using external browser works fine.
Any ideas about how should I get eclipse to connect to the internet OR a workaround to install the ADT plugin ?
-add to your ini.
Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient
This is probably related to proxy settings.
Do you have a proxy ?
Do you have to go through a proxy to get access to the internet ?
Try doing this : Start -> Run -> inetcpl.cpl -> Connections -> LAN Settings
You should get something like this :
Do you have something there ?
System Proxy Settings - The easy way
Normally, if you have setup the system proxy settings there (inetcpl.cpl), those should automatically be picked up by Eclipse and should be categorized as Native under General -> Network Connections -> Active Provider :
Then native settings are those that are checked and can be distinguished as those with a slight yellowish background.
This would require that :
1. You check and setup the system proxy settings by configuring the same in Start -> Run -> inetcpl.cpl and then by going to Connections -> LAN Settings and then filling in the values for Address and Port like so :
Restart Eclipse. Then goto General -> Network Connections` and choose the Native Provider.
This method is most useful when you have complicated proxy settings with lot's of exclusions.
Manually setting proxy settings - The not-so-easy way
With this method, we'll setup the proxy settings only within eclipse like so :
Goto General -> Network Connections in eclipse preferences.
Choose Manual for the Active Provider. As soon as you do that, you'll see that the checked settings under Proxy entries changes like so :
Finally, edit the individual proxy settings by clicking on HTTP for example, and then clicking on Edit... and filling in the values for your proxy server, like so :
Using either of the above methods you should be able to get your eclipse connected to the internet.

Can I set-up Springsource ToolSuite (STS) or Eclipse to pick up my Network ID and password for Internet Access

When using Eclipse (3.6.) or STS (2.6. or 2.8., based on Eclipse 3.6.) you need to set-up proxy entries in order to be able to access the internet.
This can be a pain so I'd like to be able to set-up the entry to automatically detect the userID and password.
I presume that this can be done as we used to have to enter our ID and password for internet access when using IE, or Firefox, but this is now done for us using Kerberos.
I've been told that if Eclipse links to Kerberos or NTLM - Then we can set up the proxy.
So does anyone know if Eclipse will link into Kerberos or NTLM ? and if so, how do we do it ?
Thanks.
I think you are looking for the preference page Preferences -> General -> Network Connection. You can set your proxy and other network information here.

Problem on installing new software on Eclipse Galileo Platform

I want to install a subversion on my eclipse.
So I went to Help < Install New Software and when I pick the "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo" in the "Work with" dropdown, it tells me in the main box "No repository found at http://...".
It is appearing in my available software sites and when I test the connection it returns me an error saying Unknown host.
Can someone please help me, I really need to install that subversion :).

As mention in this thread, this could be a proxy issue:
I assume you mean you used a web browser to get that - if so, is it
configured to use a web proxy? If your browser is using a proxy then
you need to configure Eclipse to use one too (see the General/Network
Connections preference page).
Since 3.5 Galileo, The Network Connection page has been changed to better show the current proxy configuration.
Now if you go to Preferences > General > Network Connections, you are able to see and change Eclipse proxy settings as well as see settings provided by the operating system.
If you want to use your browser or Gnome settings, or you have your proxy configured using environmental variables on Linux, you can see them all in this new UI
So to set your proxy, you can follow this tutorial (How to configure Proxy Settings in Eclipse)
The severity of the bug is downgraded, since there is a workaround. Open the eclipse.ini file and add the following
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient
In a few words the above command says that Eclipse can access the web via the *.pac files of the HTTP clients (eg Internet Explorer or Firefox).
To summarize:
Add the above line at the ini file
ensure that your default system http client (eg Internet Explorer) has proxy settings configured
Go to Eclipse Window->Preferences->Network Connection and enter the proxy setting here as well
It should work with this workaround
I'm not sure which Subversion client you use but neither of them can be installed from the main Galileo site. Follow the instructions on the web page of the Subversion plug-in how to install it.

Windows authentication with Eclipse

I use Eclipse daily for software development and those of you that use it know that you download plugins and updates regularly. The company I work for has Bluecoat installed, which blocks all of the updates. However, the update URLs are not blocked in Internet Explorer. With this said, the problem seems to be that Eclipse is not using Windows authentication when it requests updates from the URLs. Is there a way to set Eclipse up so that it acts like IE?
That could be linked to the proxy and not to Bluecoat:
If IE does authorized the access to update URLs, it must do so through an authenticated proxy connection.
If you do have such a setting (proxyname:port , user/password), you should report that setting on your eclipse, in order for p2 within that eclipse to use those same settings.
(Menu Preferences : General / Network Connections)
