Have you tried setting the proxy property?
//Create a WebRequest
WebRequest rssReq =
WebRequest.Create("http://www.asp.net/news/rss.ashx");
//Create a Proxy
WebProxy px = new WebProxy("http://www.asp.net/news/rss.ashx", true);
//Assign the proxy to the WebRequest
rssReq.Proxy = px;
//Set the timeout in Seconds for the WebRequest
rssReq.Timeout = 5000;
