Yes, both of these links resolve properly in Firefox.  I can get to them 
via the Configure... option of the System Tray item as well.

http://localhost:8880 also comes up in Firefox, though.  Resolution 
doesn't appear to be the problem.

Sorry.  Typo.  Both of those work as well.  I think the problem is 
something to do with the service v. the system tray?  The interface 
itself seems to work fine.  Do I have to configure the proxy _before_ I 
can train?  That's not explicitly stated anywhere, but I'm strating to 
wonder if that's the case...
