curl(7) cannot connect to host
 

whenver i try to connect to internet I get this error: curl(7) cannot connect to host.
I am a student and hence access internet through proxy.
My proxy settings are:
gateway: 10.24.0.1
Ip address: 10.24.1.11
dns : 10.25.0.4
netmask : 255.255.0.0

can anyone plz help me on this??
while my internet works fine in my firefox after I made the required settings. Moreover i also configured the system eth0 according to the above proxy requirements.

those aren't proxy settings, they are network interface / route settings. If you want to make curl use a proxy. you can use the http_proxy environmental variable:

export http_proxy=http://my.proxy.example.com:8080
curl htp://website.com

Why? That's irrelevant. a cannot connect to host error is about as bog standard and generic (and not its fault at all) as curl can get.
