Use full URLs, for example http://yahoo.com instead of just yahoo.com.

Try

   -pauth=id:pw     authentication information for protected proxy server

if the proxy needs authentication.  (But if you don't, lynx should prompt
you anyway - *IF* the proxy asks for it in a way that lynx can
understand.)

Use the latest lynx version, 2.8.3.
