nslookup proxy [enter] & see if anything comes back looking like the following:
ed@edtman:~ > nslookup proxy Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net Address: 4.2.2.2 *** vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net can't find proxy: Non-existent host/domain 4.2.2.2 is the dns server that is first in the list in /etc/resolv.conf I even shut down my firewall, and it won't connect to java.sun.com. When I ping java.sun.com, I get a circuit time of about 100 ms average. This really has me stumped. I cannot even get lynx to connect to it.
