Google Chrome can't connect to proxy server and I can't change LAN settings. What do I do?

[JCARVER]

Recently, Google Chrome and IE have been unable to connect to the proxy server. I tried to change the LAN settings but was unable to. How do I fix this?

 

[Llussier18]

I unchecked the proxy box but still doesn't work then when I connect back into the LAN settings the box is check off again like its automatic

did u tried in google chrome setting, show advance setting scroll down change proxy setting connections lan setting and try for that....

you have to start in safe mode and beside un checking the proxy server box you have to delete all the text in the proxy server boxes.
check auto detect settings and then apply. then restart if this doesn't work you have something in your registry. which is another set of instructions.

Run Chrome as Administrator, Then you will be able to change the settings. Save it and browse through internet

I've also got the same problem and I was able to fix it on my own.
Just follow the steps I did:
1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Click Menu on the upper right side. Beside the STAR symbol (Bookmark).
3. Click Show Advanced Settings.
4. Scroll down and find Network.
5. Click Change proxy settings.
6. On the Connections tab, click LAN settings.
7. Uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN."
8. Then click OK.

Hope it helps .

I tried all the posted fixes and the only one that worked for me was the post by "Icylove". I did the fallowing:

1. Right click on Google Chrome and make sure you run As Administrator. (this also fixed IE)
2. Click Menu on the upper right side. Beside the STAR symbol
3. Click on Settings.
4. Click on “ Show Advanced Settings”
5. Scroll down and find Network.
6. Click on “Change proxy settings”.
7. On the Connections tab, click LAN settings.
8. Uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN."
9. Check “ Automatically detect settings”
10. Then click OK.

On some installations, changing this setting requires you to do it as Administrator otherwise it keeps reverting back

Hope this helps

If this is still an issue for anyone, if the proxy box in lan settings won't let you uncheck it simply right click chrome and hit "run as administrator" then go to the lan settings and all should work out

skip the gogle chrome junk, open control panel/ click internet options/ click the connections tab, then at the bottom click LAN settings . Un click use a proxy server , then click automatically detect settings.
This should solve your issues.

To whizzard gong to safe mode did it thank you for your post!

 

[Gemma Louise]

Mebbys suggestion worked for me, thank you

In reply to @JCARVER I also have experienced this problem and every time you uncheck "use a proxy server" it rechecks itself.
If it helps, I first experienced this after returning to my home in Central America after buying the new computer in California.

There are a lot of factors that can go into this issue; however I found what worked for me. I ran a restore point previous to several windows updates-problem fixed, reinstalled updates to identify the bad one-problem returned, started manually uninstalling each windows update. The culprit was KB2976627

On Windows XP, click Start, or on Windows Vista or Windows 7, click start, and then click Run.
In the Run text box, copy (CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) or type the following:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Click OK.
On Windows XP, click Start , or on Windows Vista or Windows 7, click start, and then click Run.
In the Run text box, copy (CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) or type the following:

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyServer /f

Click OK.

If you don't have the run command in your start menu then press the "windowkey+R" then it should come out

If this does not fix the problem then you might have malware thats causing the problem. Download SpywareBlaster and ComboFix. That helped me get rid of all those malware.

It only works in Safe Mode. I could uncheck the box and everything worked (except the audio in safe mode). However, when I hard shut down the computer and did it normally, it checked itself again, making it impossible to use in normal mode. This was only recently this week, maybe Tuesday or so (Sept. 16, 2014).
