How do I diagnose this?

Yes, the box in question can access the internet through the browser.  The 
browser has saved the challenge response sequence, so I do not have to do 
it anymore in the browser.  I need to be able to access the internet 
through wget and yum.

Do the Linux boxes in question have access to the Internet?  Depending on 
how your network is setup, they may need either NAT'd addresses, to belong 
to the Windows Domain, or both. And/or it may be a firewall issue (with 
the network, not the Linux systems).

Recently I changed employment.  (Our group was bought.)  It appears that 
the new network is configured quite differently than at my previous 
employer.  Naturally, stuff has broken.   Right now I am trying to figure 
out why yum and wget (http and ftp) fail.  I think it may be because the 
programs would need to login to the network before being allowed access. 

From my observations, this past week, I believe this is a windows centric 
organization.  I have an active directory login.  When I first used my 
browser in linux, it challenged me.  I provided the correct credentials 
and was able to access the net. 

What should I do to try to figure this out?  Do I need to use ntlmaps, 
which is a python program? 

My local IT person linux experience is not recent, however, he seems to be 
quite willing to learn.  I would like to know what to ask for, or at the 
very least how to write up a help ticket.  It would be fun to figure this 
out with the list's collective help, however, which is why I am asking...
