One thing you could do is on IE on the workstations set that IP as an exception so that it does not go through the proxy server, go to IE/tools/internet options/connections/lan settings/advanced and then exceptions. Not sure if this is what you are looking for. What is strange though if the proxy server can get to it then the workstations should also, or could could see if mozilla firefox configured for the proxy behaves differently.
