mandrake 10.0
i have connected to inter by proxy server.
if i give ip address 10.255.240.102 i am getting the internet connection.
when i change to 10.255.240.104 or 108 etc i can not get the internet.
SO HOW CAN I GET THE IP ADDRESS RANGE FOR A BETTER INTERNET CONNECTION.
IS THERE ANY COMMAND TO QUERY THE PROXY SERVER OR DHCP SERVER.
