Eclipse 101: ERROR: Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Unknown Host http://xxx.xxx.xxx.x

While doing an update on my Eclipse SDK for Android development, I came to a problem that I can't able to update SDK due to proxy problem which I didn't remember setting it up.

Problem is that I encountered this error "ERROR: Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml, reason: Unknown Host http://192.168.101.5".

I tried disabling the proxy settings of Eclipse Network Connections in all active provider: Direct, Manual, and Native but nothing works for me and error still persist.

It took me half a day to figure out the problem is, and then I found the config file on Android for the proxy settings.

You just have to go to this path: ~/.android/androidtool.cfg.. and you will see the settings like on this below.

### Settings for Android Tool
#Tue Jun 22 09:08:34 PHT 2010
http.proxyPort=80
sdkman.monitor.density=72
http.proxyHost=http\://192.168.101.5
sdkman.show.update.only=false
sdkman.ask.adb.restart=false
sdkman.force.http=false


Then update it to remove the proxy port, proxy host, and set the force http to true. The settings should be like this.
