I want to to use the browser inside the Android emulator, and I want to use the proxy settings on my machine. How can I set this up?

Reading the very good Android manuals, they tell me that I should start Android using the following command:

emulator -avd myavd -http-proxy http://168.192.1.2:3300

But I am still not able to use the emulator browser. Please note that I am using the IP address for my proxy server.

What am I doing wrong?
