I've recently installed Nessus and have it working fine on a networked

I keep getting the message:

nessus-fetch can't establish a connection to www.nessus.org.

We do have a proxy server that I think may be causing the problem. 

That's probably why. The nessus-fetch man page has information on
configuring it for use with a proxy; from a commandline on the nessusd
host, type "man nessus-fetch" to read what you need to do.
