what's wrong with my code?

[sicohne]

I need to grab a text file stored on a website. This is my code:

InvValue = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://jumpgate.mightygames.com/database/inventory/inventory.txt"[/URL]
Username = "Username"
Password = "Pswd"
myWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(InvValue)
myProxy = CType(myWebRequest.Proxy, WebProxy)
myProxy.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(Username, Password) [COLOR=green]'Proxy details[/color]
myStream = myClient.OpenRead(InvValue)

This works with a windows form but not a web form. What am I doing wrong?

What does the error message say?
BTW: I just copied the link into my browser and the page opened right up. no password prompts or anything.
maybe you don't need the NetworkCredentials.

The web page is fine, it just that I have to access it through a proxy (which is where the NetworkCredentials bit comes in). The error message claims that the underlying network connection could not be established, which basically means that it is not passing my proxy details to the browser.
