Are you talking about /etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.deny?
If cron.allow exists, your login has to be there. If cron.deny exists,
your login must not be in there.
To add a cronjob, you need to use:
shell> crontab -e
Instead of editing the files directly.

cron should be logging to a file somewhere. Locate that file and check
it out.

What is 'root' in the above for? It may be different on different
systems, but this is typically the format:
# minute hour mday month wday command
And at the top, the PATH should be set. Either a) lynx has to be
somewhere within your $PATH, or b) you must give the full path to
lynx.

Try:
[all on one line]
/path/to/lynx -dump http://192.168.0.1/try1.php > /full/path/to/output.txt
[/all on one line]
