Are you using JBoss AS?

If so, you need to change in your bin\run.bat the JAVA_OPTS like this:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dhttp.proxyHost=x.xx.xx.xx -Dhttp.proxyPort=80 -DproxySet=true

Also you can try adding in your portlet.xml the following code:

 <init-param>
 <name>proxy</name>
 <value>x.xx.xx.xx</value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
 <name>proxyport</name>
 <value>80</value>
 </init-param>
