Some organizations use proxy servers to control connections to the Internet. To use LiveUpdate, you might need to specify the address and port of the proxy server as well as a user name and password. If needed, you can modify the proxy server configuration settings through LiveUpdate.
LiveUpdate can use an HTTP, FTP, or ISP proxy server.

In the Control Panel window, double-click Symantec LiveUpdate.
In the LiveUpdate Configuration dialog box, on the FTP tab, click I want to customize my FTP settings for LiveUpdate.
When this setting is checked, the Use a proxy server for FTP connections option appears and is checked by default.
In the Address box, type the IP address of the FTP proxy server.
In the port box, type the port number.
