re: #313 ckkatz

I had a Techie blast from the past yesterday. I got a “proxy server” error on my desktop suddenly. I had not seen one of those for probably 15 years.

So I went through my usual response with MS Windows. First, reboot the computer, reset the router and optical endpoint(FIOS).

Not because they would necessarily do anything for this specific problem, but because with MS-Win, it would likely clean up a bunch of Windows stuff. (Clear out buffers, force reload of the correct software libraries, etc.)

When everything came back and I was still getting the rror, I verified that all the browsers were failing with this error. I suddenly remembered what I had done years before. I went into the Windows settings and unchecked a single box. (“Use proxy server”.) Problem fixed.

Not sure how it suddenly got checked. I have not screwed with those settings for a year or more. And have not added new software for over a month. I am assuming that some MS Windows update did it because some junior programmer thought that (reasons).

happened here too last week (at&t uverse)
