	I have a Toshiba laptop (Vista) that was working fine up till a few days ago. I can connect to my internet connection just fine and it shows that I am connected, but when I go to open my browser I get the error that the page can't open because of something with my proxy settings. It started doing this Thursday of last week, and I know I hadn't changed any of my settings before then. I have no clue why all of a sudden I can't get onto the internet. It's almost like it is not recognizing that I am connected to the internet. I've even ran my virus scans and nothing comes up. Can anyone give me some other options to look at or any idea what may be wrong? Thanks

	Control Panel and then Network and Internet. Some where there's a place to get new proxy settings.

	Check your internet connection condition; just open google.com and your browser & Internet connection may be verified.

	From explorer try going to tools, Internet options, connections, lan settings and then untick the proxy server option. :)

	Go to Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet options > Connections > LAN settings > Tick the "Automatically detect settings" Untick " Use a proxy server for your LAN". There would be an IP address entered in this option and a port number of 80. Delete the IP address - just to be on the safe side. Also make sure that you have unticked "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" This should solve your problem.

	Thanks everyone for the comments/help. I was getting so frustrated but I tried one last thing (reset the brower settings) and it worked! So I'm all good now.
