To use a proxy you probably need your IT department to install one, they
should be able to install one specifically for the eclipse cvs
repositiries, then instead of using the direct eclipse cvs domain
(dev.eclipse.org) you can use the proxy address.

If they refuse then here's a link to the GNU view on accessing cvs
repositories from behind a firewall/proxy. It is called complainware so
after using it you will have to complain to your system admin...
