I have been using my current computer for years and have never come across this problem until today. Suddenly both Firefox and Internet Explorer began reporting a proxy problem. The Firefox message is:
So, I changed the proxy setting to "Auto-Detect Proxy Settings for this Network" and it works again.
Are there any advantages or disadvantages to doing that? Is anyone else having the same issue? (Is it just me, or is it everybody else?)
The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
working.
So, I changed the proxy setting to "Auto-Detect Proxy Settings for this Network" and it works again.
Are there any advantages or disadvantages to doing that? Is anyone else having the same issue? (Is it just me, or is it everybody else?)
