What kind of proxy? The most common proxies just proxy web and ftp access
(assuming your ftp client is configured to use the proxy). See docs for
your ftp client to see how to use it with a proxy.

If you can resolve names to their proper IPs it is not a DNS issue.
I do not see any options in 'man telnet' for using a proxy. You should
really be using ssh (more secure and encrypted), but it has no option to
use a proxy either. Ping and traceroute will not work through a proxy
either. So if you want to do any of those things, the internet connection
would need to masquerade your IP as its internet IP instead of using a
proxy [like a NAT router, maybe Windows ICS which I am not familiar with,
or Linux firewall (iptables) configured to masquerade].
An ftp client might be able to use a proxy if properly configured.
