For what it's worth, I have also noticed today that LiveCode is unable to complete an Activation automatically through my
work network...Have to do a manual activation.

No I haven't listed a bug yet as I am kind of in the same situation as Jacque.

They will ask for details relating to the network and PAC file which I can't provide as I am operating from a work network. Disclosing any of the details Will likely land me in trouble.

This really needs to someone better than me to lodge a descriptive bug...

I don't have things set up to properly to file a bug report on this. I just know what might be going on under the hood as I previously added support for PAC and WPAD detection to the GLX Ap Framework version of libURL.

Based on what Nakia describes it sounds like LiveCode is not picking up the system assigned PAC file. Based on the 6.6 release notes it should so I would report a bug:

"LibURL has been updated to add support for proxy auto configuration files (PAC). If no global proxy server has been set using the HTTPProxy property, when fetching a URL, LibURL will attempt to parse the systems .pac file in order to extract the proxy server (if any) to use for the given URL."
