make sure your network already configure.
and test your connection using ping to the proxy server, if reply you already to setting the internet connection.
to see another computer on your network using samba, you have to mount the remote computer manually. If you using window manager, you can use LinNeighbourhood (download from
www.freshmeat.net).
here command to configure your client (just for example)
ifconfig eth0 up // activate your ethernet
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 //asume your ipaddr
route add 192.168.0.2 gw 192.168.0.1 //assume your gateway ipaddr
edit your /etc/resolv.conf, put your DNS server your network, example :
nameserver 202.155.0.10
nameserver 202.152.0.2
last, set your browser, put the proxy server ipaddr and port, and test your internet connection.
maybe this resolve your problem
thx
