I have figured it out myself... sorry to have bothered you all!
Basically my company use an automatic configuration script within Internet
Explorer to provide proxy addresses. I downloaded the .pac file and
extracted the IP address of one of our proxies. Once that address was
entered into TSVN's Network Settings it all worked. I guess TSVN doesn't
find and interpret the pac file automatically. Fair enough!
