I tried the above but now when i try to ping www.google.com ping: unknown host www.google.com is what i get.
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
