The MiX Timeclock Plug Interface Agent requires port 8080 on the user's computer to be free to connect to. If the user's computer is already configured to send all local network traffic to their local proxy server on port 8080 this will cause a communications breakdown between the MiX Timeclock Interface Agent and the browser running the site.

The proxy is enabled and configured on a computer by going to Microsoft Internet Explorer.
