computer can't connect to internet. [View all]

Windows 10 updated last night now Settings says Ethernet connected to internet but chrome can't connect. Message says "There is something wrong with proxy server, or the address is incorrect."

This happened a few times in the past but was very short term.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried the windows troubleshooter BootinUp May 2022 #2

yes, that's where I found the proxy issue. nt AndyS May 2022 #5

You can also try resetting the network BootinUp May 2022 #3

Did that, no change. AndyS May 2022 #6

Can you ping any internet server? open CMD command prompt type BootinUp May 2022 #7

You probably just need to turn off the proxy server AZSkiffyGeek May 2022 #4

No joy. I've always used proxy. AndyS May 2022 #8
