Sakthi,

The proxy might be a problem. Try to go around the proxy and connect directly to the internet. Then, if you can log in, you'll know it's the proxy. Otherwise, if you know another account/password, you can try logging in with that. Theother thing is to change your password using the windows version and then try it again using Linux. This way you can verify that it's not a username/password issue and it helps you work around any bugs that may be causing it to fail.

Thanks,
torque_rider
