thanks for all who replied for my mail regarding installation error....
today only I found that some problem in connecting internet via terminal,
eventhough ?proxy address and port no. is correct..
In a corporate setup, the port used for ping is usually blocked in the firewall.
Is it possible to browse internet from browser using the proxy settings?
If so, the proxy/firewall admin may blocked the ping.
try an console based browser like lynx or links.
If you couldn't get lynx installed, try "links" or "wget". infact wget
would be easier, as you can set the proxy settings easily through the
command line.
For lesser beings, like me, who are stuck with M$, with no
links/lynx/wget/ping, what we do is this:
telnet <server> <port>
if there is a proxy inbetween
telnet <proxy> <port>
and then use it to connect to the actual term. (WGET is far easier)
