Make sure there is a DNS server that is reachable from your machine.
The best way would be to run BIND as a caching DNS server ('# service
bind start' for Red Hat systems) on the machine running the proxy
server, and configure your machine to use this as the primary DNS (use
/etc/resolv.conf).
To confirm that this actually works do:
$ nslookup gnu.org
on your own machine.
This works
[ If you can not have a DNS then try:
$ ping 199.232.41.10
If this fails, then read on.]
This does not - dest unreachable
This may be a newbie question, but what has http_proxy to do with DNS or
ping? Is not http_proxy only for http requests?
Further should not the sysad supporting the proxy specify DNS, Gateway
etc., or are they open to Internet? then why do you need proxy?
