To download the IDV, we must be able to resolve who is downloading
the software.  I'm guessing that we can't do a forward and reverse
name lookup on your system.  See the item in our FAQ:

on this isse.

You could contact your service provider to see if they have a proxy
server you could download to that can be identified.
