Launch w3m in a terminal (outside emacs) and press 'o'.  This will open
the configuration page, where you can define a proxy.  This information
is stored in ~/.w3m/config and will be used when running emacs-w3m.

HTH,

This might help you... it's from the info page for emacs-w3m:

`Proxy Gateway'
     If you are behind a firewall and access the Internet through a
     proxy gateway, you need to instruct w3m to use it.

     There are several ways to do this, one is to set the `http_proxy'
     environment variable globally in the shell something like:

          setenv http_proxy http://proxy.hogege.com:8000/

     Another way is to customize the `w3m-command-arguments' variable to
     add the options `-o' and
     `http_proxy=http://PROXY_SERVER_NAME:PORT/'.

     This can also be done in your `~/.emacs-w3m' file as shown below:

          (setq w3m-command-arguments
                (nconc w3m-command-arguments
                       '("-o" "http_proxy=http://proxy.hogege.com:8000/")))

     To specify hosts for which the proxy shouldn't be used (Intranet
     sites and the like), set the `no_proxy' (note that it is not
     `no-proxy') environment variable to a comma-separated list of
     hostnames.  Alternatively, you can set the `w3m-no-proxy-domains'
     variable to a list of domain names (not host names) as follows:

          (setq w3m-no-proxy-domains '("local.com" "neighbor.com"))

     See also the documentation of the `w3m-command-arguments-alist'
     variable for instructions on how to use regexps to specify
     `no_proxy' hosts.
