what do you see when you use the traceroute command:
traceroute yahoo.com

This does not always provide useful info even when the network is setup properly.

Hmm.  Wonder if your proxy server is set to allow from certain addresses
only. Try:
telnet 10.0.0.2 8080

If you're allowed, you should see something like:
Connected to 10.0.0.2.
Escape character is '^]'

Otherwise you'll probably see a "Connection refused" message.

That shouldn't matter.
