Authentication failure

edited November -1 in Sahi - Open Source
I've been using Sahi for a little while now and I started getting this authentication failure message yesterday accessing my our sites. The message states "Sahi could not connect to the desired URL... Either the remote server is down or not reachable... or... You need an external proxy to be configured." ... Well the server is not down and I don't need to use an external proxy to access sites so Im stumped...

I've tried...
- Checking the proxy settings in the browser. (looks good)
- Making sure java has full access in the Windows Firewall.
- Turning off the Windows Firewall.
- Checking the userdata.properties and sahi.properties files and ensured the option for external proxy is set to false.
- Reinstalling both Sahi and Java.

Im using...
Win 7
IE 8
Sahi V3.5 (Build:2011-07-19)

Thanks in advance for any help...
