Error while creating an project

Hello,

if i tried to creat a new Force.com project with Eclipse i allways get this message:

Unable to fetch organization details for '<username>':
Malformed reply from SOCKS server


What can i do?

This is some kind of low-level network communication error.  Do you use a proxy server?  Have you configured your proxy server settings in Eclipse?
mknobmknob
Yes, the proxy settings are correct. I've installed the Force.comIDE over this proxy

I would double-check your proxy settings.  For some reason your Eclipse can't open a proper connection over the network.  You may want to try the Eclipse forums, as I've never seen any threads about that error message here.

I multi-checked the proxy settings. I called the admin. He said, all packets over the proxy works correct. Only if the admin enables the direct conection to the internet it works, but this isnt a solution for us.
