Right my school has a proxy, i know all the information. I can access the minecraft.net site, the server list. The applets will load, but then it will say "Failed to connect. You Failed to connect to the server. It's probably down" That is on Minecraft.net.

 
If i try with World of Minecraft client, the login box appears, i press go. Them after a while it says "could not retrieve server list. going single player." Single Player Loads Fine. But in the Java CMD window it says Compass Initialized. attempting to use default windows plug-in.
Got Server: Generating level: planting..
 
Then says:
  
Java.net.connectexception: connection timed out: connect

It works perfectly fine at home. So it must be the server. There is only 1 proxy
 
Proxy.segfl.ifl.net > which can be overwritten with unfiltered.proxy.segfl.ifl.net
the port is 8080.
 
I had heard about people using:
 
java -Dhttp.proxyHost=hostIP -Dhttp.proxyPort=hostPort -Xmx800m -jar Minecraft.exe
 
But this is for Beta servers

Change command lines

I would strongly recommend this ONLY if it is an internal proxy for internal network protection.

try doing this in your batch:
java -D32 -Dsocks.proxyHost=hostIP -Dsocks.proxyPort=hostPort -Xmx800m -jar Minecraft.exe

They seem to be still blocking your connection...
