bad network config or proxy?

Dear Sirs:

I work in a big company with several offices around my country. In my office
we got a LAN, and I attached a Linux based computer. I configured the
network with netcfg and everything is working properly (anyonce can telnet
me and viceversa).

My company has a proxy server in the central office with a complete
intranet. With Netscape, in the linux computer, I can browse around the
intranet, but when I want to go out to another web site appears an message
saying that there's a TCP error, no route to the system, the server may be
down.

If I ping, for example, to www.altavista.com, I obtain a lot of times:

Destination hosts unreacheable

If I run traceroute www.altavista.com, I get:

traceroute to altavista.com (209.73.164.93), 30 hops mx, 38 bytes packets
1 x.y.z.1 [my gateway IP] (x.y.z.1) 2.863 ms 2.874 ms 2.891 ms
2 x.y.z.1 (x.y.z.1) 3.259 ms!H * 2.240 ms!H

In the Windows machines, when I try to go to another web site away from the
intranet, appears a windows asking my username and password (every one got
one different). Could this be the problem?

I'm really sad about this. I've installed a lot of linux computers in LAN,
but this is the first time I got this problem!

Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!!

Alfonso García
