If you are talking about Yahoo.com, I can't connect with it either. Got the same message. The site might be down.

You menion only Yahoo, does it mean you can access other sites? If not, can you ping your proxy server? If not, can you ping yourself (ping 127.0.0.1)?

you have set the proxy settings in the IE options to the correct ip address?!

are the network properties correct? what about your WINS and DNS settings - are they correct?
