I was planning to write this post for several days now as I faced this problem personally. And today finally I have found the enthusiasm. So few weeks back when I tried to open a website in my Google Chrome, I couldn’t open a single link. It showed the message:
Unable to connect to the proxy server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary between your computer and other servers. Right now, your system is configured to use a proxy, but Google Chrome can’t connect to it.Here are some suggestions:
- If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or check with your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
- If you don’t believe you should be using a proxy server, try the following steps: Go to Wrench menu > Options > Under the Hood > Change proxy settings > LAN Settings and deselect “Use a proxy server for your LAN.”
Error 130 (net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED): Proxy server connection failed.
I was a bit surprised as I couldn’t remember what change I had made or if I had made any changes in Chrome connection settings at all. Even Internet Explorer was having the same connection problem. But Firefox was working fine. I checked Chrome and Internet Explorer settings, but there was no proxy server configured. And the problem was happening only on my office network, all the browsers were working perfectly when I was at home. So it took me a while to figure out the problem as I did some Google search. The solution was a simple one. If you are encountering same kind of problem, follow the below steps:
- Open Google Chrome
- Click the wrench in the upper right corner
- Go to Options
- Then select Under the Hood tab from sidebar
- From there go to Change proxy settings> Lan settings
- Uncheck all the boxes
That’s all. Now try to open any website in Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. It should work. Apparently I selected “Automatically select settings” checkbox. And it overrode the normal settings and somehow from my office network it was going through a proxy. Though I didn’t get the connection between Chrome and IE, IE started working fine too. I was not clear about issue, but at least I could solve it 
So if you are facing similar connection problem in Google Chrome or Internet Explorer and your Firefox is still working, try these steps. Hope this helps!
I’m trying to access any internet site using the Google Chrome, bu with no success.
I always get the following message for any site I try to access:
—————————————–
This webpage is not available
The webpage at http://www.google.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): The server refused the connection
—————————————–
I uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled it again and didn’t help.
My IE works just fine!
I need your help please!
I am not sure what exactly your issue is. But your Firewall might be blocking Chrome to access internet. Turn off your Firewall software and then check. Or check whether you have given permission for Google Chrome in your Firewall software.
And don’t forget to turn Firewall on after you test
Oh man! You’re the best! (^_^)
I do this every time that I open my browser… I understand that this is the solution, but is there a way to permanently fix this? Am I not doing something right?
