1966 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 OK, how do we fix this? Internet working fine for the computer I am on but the new one with Firefox and win 7 has been working fine but today when I boot it on it gives me The proxy server is refusing connection. Where are the proxy settings? All settings match the computer I am working on. All I can come up with is that some program that I have downloaded has done something to the internet access.

caintry_boy Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 In Internet Explorer go to Tools/Internet Options/Connections tab and click the box that says "Lan Settings"...be sure that *Automatically Detect Settings* is checked. In Firefox go to Options/Advanced/Network and under Connection click Settings and be certain that "No Proxy" is checked. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1966 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) I got it going but I am not sure what I did to get it going. The proxy was checked when I got it going but I did change it as a proxy isn't needed. I attempted to delete everything in cache and all that. Even though power management is not in use I did find a check by allow Windows to turn off network adapter to save power and I unchecked that,not sure as I say what I did but I did reboot after playing with it and operation normal. I also went in to device manager and everything was normal there as well. Edited June 9, 2013 by 1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
