    Error "The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source." When connecting to XML Data Source in SPD 2007

     Hi!

    i'm trying to follow this article:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101191141033.aspx to
    learn creating form DataViews. I create an XML file as described, however
    when I click on xml file and select "show data" data source details tab has
    all buttons dimmed and gives this error:

    The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the
    data source. Check the format and content of your query and try again. If
    the problem persists, contact the server administrator.

    On Muicrosoft site I've found this article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B923173&x=12&y=13

    however, I connect to SharePoint site directly through the LAN, so why would
    I configure the proxy?
    Any clues?

    Thanks in advance!
