Exception on importing WSDL - interpretation?

Hi all,

I am new to SoapUI and to testing Web services. I'm a tester, not a developer.

I have been sent a WSDL file and have saved it to my desktop. This doesn't seem right to me - I'd imagine that I would have to point SoapUI at a running Web service - but SoapUI took a file input so I attempted an import.

Here is the exception upon attempt to import. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to a cause and what needs to be fixed?

Also note that my company uses a proxy server.
