    Question Proxy is refusing connections, now what?

    Hey guys. With both IE and Firefox; both bring up a proxy related error. Specifically it says "Proxy server refusing connections - check proxy settings to make sure their correct."
    (How do I determine whats correct VS. Incorrect?) I've been using an older version of Firefox since after upgrading to FF10 I believe it is; this would happen. (I used system restore to go back to the old version) Finally I couldn't keep using my old version of FF, so I HAD to upgrade. Now Its refusing connections, just as it had originally.

    I've never screwed around with Proxy & Firewall related problems before, so please help.
    Other computers in the house (I.E. the one Im typing this message on) is working fine.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this and offering any help you can

    If you never played with the settings and both browsers exhibit the same behaviour I'd look at the proxy server. Who knows, it might be refusing connections :P

    Are you at home? If so, why are you using a proxy? Try to disable your proxy settings and try again.
