No, I didn't know this! Code was added before 2.3b1 to make it go
through firewalls (basically using urllib2 in stead of urllib, which
should be firewall-aware. This definitely needs to be fixed, or at the
very least warned about.
What are the symptoms you see?
And, for the rest of the crowd here: is anyone having success using PM
behind a firewall? Was there anything special you needed to do?

This also is news to me. There is one thing you need to do (which is
obscurely mentioned in the installer welcome message): you need to
start the IDE once so it can register the help book.
Does the "MacPython Help" show up in your Help Viewer bookshelf?
