Safty Minder can not connect to server to authenticate.

I get the following message on my Vista Ultimate when Safety Minder tries to contact the norton server:

"Contact with the OnlineFamily.Norton server has failed.  Make sure you are connected to the Internet and try again."

 

I have norton 360 v.2.0 installed, and am behind a proxy that requires authentication.  The norton 360 does not have a problem getting and installing updates.

 

I am able to ping the o2comm.norton.com server, but I don't think the telnet command is on my vista ultimate.

 

What can I do to get Safety Minder working?
