Add your proxy settings to the web.config

To allow external RSS feeds on your internal Sharepoint site add your local proxy setting to the web.config. Change the following lines:
 
<system.net>
  <defaultproxy>
     <proxy autodetect="true" />
  </defaultproxy>
</system.net>
 
to:
 
<system.net>
  <defaultproxy>
     <proxy usesystemdefault="false" proxyaddress="http://YOURPROXYSERVER:PORT" bypasslocal="true />
  </defaultproxy>
</system.net>
 
Run a iisreset after saving the web.config file.
