I have installed EGit plugin in my eclipse(3.7). I have created a tunnel using putty, to a server where my git repository is present. Now, I tried changing the Git Configuration under Windows->Preferences->Git->Configurations. Added the following http settings under system properties:
http
proxyHost : localhost
proxyPort : 3128 (port on which my ssh tunner is established)
postBuffer : 524288000
While saving these configurations, i’m getting the following errors:

Do I need to change some permission settings? Can some one explain what this error means?
Try running eclipse as administrator.
Right click on eclipse Run as administrator.
