check if you can ping an IP (64.179.4.149 aka www.linuxquestions.org for instance).
If not, you're problem is elsewhere.
Check all relevant settings with redhat-config-network (it's on the RH9 cd's if you didn't install it).

HTH,
Sven

[PS, edit]: Do you run your own DNS server? If not, call your ISP to ask for the IP's of the
nameservers if you don't already know them.

I tryed all the above suggestion, no luck. When i ping 64.179.4.149 i am getting "Destination host unreachable"

Also i tried "service iptables stop".

I can ping our local network machines and our proxy server. WHen i try out the network I am getting the followings:
HTTP 407 Proxy authentication required -The ISA server requires authorization to fulfil the request. Web proxy service denied.

TO log on to windows (XP), it's ask for the network username /passwd FOR AUTHENTICATION. Where as for Linux i am not getting the logging windows for authenticaton. MAy be its to do with that.
I can't thing of anything else I have tried all.

Thx
