If this code works, then your original code above was wrong. You should set

request.Proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

and

NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential("SITEUSERNAME", "SITEPASSWORD");
CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache();
cache.Add(new Uri(RSSFeed), "Basic", nc);
cache.Add(new Uri(RSSFeed), "Ntlm", new NetworkCredential("USERNAME","PASSWORD","DOAMIN"));
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(RSSFeed);
myHttpWebRequest.Credentials = cache;

In other words, you had exchanged credentials for the proxy and the destination server.
