 Yes. My Linux box is a Virtual machine on my Windows machine.

Connected to <proxyIP>

I guess it is trying to resolve my host in the first case, and couldn't do
it! ( Strangely the problem is only on Linux and NOT on windows)
 As a result, it keeps returning couldn't resolve proxy.
My curl version on windows - 7.18.1
Curl version on Linux - 7.12.

Will this actually make a difference?

OR is it some configuration problem??
