+                Most source fetching by Poky is done by wget and you therefore need to specify the proxy 
+                settings in a .wgetrc file in your home directory. Example settings in that file would be
+                'http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/' and 'ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/'.
+                Poky also includes a site.conf.sample file which shows how to configure cvs and git proxy servers
+                if needed.
