JMeter Proxy Server config issues

[ne...@asia1.com]

I tested out JMeter's proxy server last night but had some difficulty 
configuring it mainly b'cos I think the doc was a bit scant.  From 
what I could gather, these are what I have to do :
1. Add 'ThreadGroup' to 'Test Plan'.
2. Add 'Proxy Server' to 'ThreadGroup'.  Accept the default values 
where name is 'Proxy Server', port is '8080', include and exclude are 
both left blank.
3. Add 'Simple Controller' to 'ThreadGroup'.
4. Make browser point to the JMeter proxy server
5. Access http://www.google.com.

At this stage the console shows 'Miss! Forwarding to 
http://www.google.com'.  After sometime, I get :
java.net.NoRouteToHostException: Operation timed out: connect
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect
(PlainSocketImpl.java:323)
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress
(PlainSocketImpl.java:136)
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:123)
        at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:273)
        at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:100)
        at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.proxy.Proxy.run
(Proxy.java:195)
The browser shows 503 Gateway Timeout Error.

I did a ip trace and notice that the 'Proxy Server' did not forward 
the browser request to my proxy server(I'm referring to my ISP proxy 
server and NOT the JMeter Proxy Server) but instead tried to forward 
directly to http://www.google.com which of course fails since my ISP 
does not allow connections without going thru' its proxy.  I started 
JMeter with 'jmeter.bat -h proxy.myisp.com.sg -p 8080'.  For other 
types of JMeter function, e.g. 'View Result Tree' etc things work 
just fine.

What did I do wrong?  Let me know and I'll update the docs to reflect 
the steps required.
