If you need to pass certain credentials to your proxy WS class, just use
something like this:

CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache();
cache.Add( new Uri( WSProxy.Url ), "Negotiate", new NetworkCredentials(
"youruser", "yourpwd", "yourdomain") );
WSProxy.Credentials = cache;

If you use NTLM auth in IIS, "Negotiate" will be fine. If you use "Basic"
auth instead, just put "Basic" where it says "negotiate".
