Not entirely sure if this will work, but try:

- In LibreOffice menu Tools > Options > Internet > Proxy, set "Proxy 
server" to "System" (I guess this is what you've tried above). This 
tells LibreOffice to use the system proxy settings.

- To check/set the system proxy settings, in Windows' Control Panel 
(Start > Control Panel) find the Internet Options (it's probably easier 
to find with the control panel in Classic View rather than category 
view). On the Connections tab, click "LAN settings" and ensure your 
proxy is set up there.

- Open Internet Explorer (which always uses the system proxy settings; 
Firefox may or may not depending how its configured). Navigate to a 
random web site (e.g. www.google.com) and enter any passwords needed for 
the proxy. This is often enough to open up the proxy for other 
applications to use.

- Now try accessing the web service from LibreOffice.

Another possibility is that the service is blocked by your proxy. Are 
you able to access it from work through any other means to test? e.g. 
another application, by manually connecting to it (if you know what 
you're doing and it uses a plain-text protocol, you can connect a telnet 
session via "telnet <address> <port>" from a command prompt, and then 
type the requests and see if you get a response back).

It may be worth asking your IT department what you might need to do to 
get through their proxy; the rest of us can only guess at how it might 
be configured. Some are more aggressive than others in blocking certain 
types of traffic.

Mark.
