QuestionEstablishing a connection through a firewall (Proxy Server) Pin

I've tried so many different way's of doing this and I'm sure the solution is simple, I just need a push in the right direction!

Sorry that this post is so long but people usually misunderstand me on this topic.

All I want to do is to establish a client-server connection between two computers of which the one is behind a hardware firewall (A.K.A proxy server). The word PROXY in this case refers to a computer with two NIC's, one to the internet and one to the LAN. This proxy server has a whitelist of allowed sites, ports and protocols.

Eg. Any PC on the lan can connect to www.news24.com, because the website is whitelisted. In the same manner any PC on the LAN can send and receive emails. In the event where a client attempts to access a website not on the whitelist he is promted for a password that will grant the access.

I want users of my app to be able to specify wheter they use a proxy server or not and what the address of that server is. Let's assume the proxy server has been set up to allow communication on that specific port (i.e I'm not trying to trick, hack or bypass the firewall, the connection is legitimate)

A good example of this is MSN Live Messenger, see it's connection setup screen here[^]

My actual question is, how do I implement this proxy into my connection, do I need to connect to the proxy first and then somehow request it forward my connection?
PS. This is not a web-request (eg. http get/post request)
