Did you check that you have the same IP address with Linux? (This should
be OK, assuming that your network uses MAC-based DHCP assignments, but
check it just to be sure.)
Can you ping the proxy server?

I would try this in a terminal:
export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.server:PORT
(replace "your.proxy.server" and "PORT" with the correct data for your
network)
Then do this:
wget -v --delete-after http://slashdot.org
to check if you can download the frontpage of slashdot via the proxy. If
you get errors or a slow download speed then post the (error) messages
of the wget command here.
