is it because my proxy is blocking icmp packets.. is there someway i can verify that??
That might be the case; your proxy is blocking icmp packets. If you are the proxy admin there are ways to find out. What are you running?
Since when did proxies start "proxy-ing" ICMP requests? The only way you can ping external hosts is if your gateway NATs you to the outside world.
