That's what I suspect, yes.  You mentioned that you're
using
'Direct Connection to the Internet' for 'setup.exe'. 
Is that
the same method your browser uses to connect to the
Internet?

Yes, in the sense that I use Roadrunner and the
setting there
is "Direct Connection to the Internet". So, if I were
to
try the HTTP or FTP methods, what should I use for the

proxy? One of the entries in the mirrors list? I tried

the one in Virginia for <mirrors.rcn.net> and the one
in
Tennessee <mirrors.xmission.com>, but did not get
anywhere.

thanks
