eurotrash Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Hi everyone, I am having trouble connecting to the internet using edge. My computer seems to be stuck with a 127 manual proxy in the system settings that keeps reverting to enabled after i disable it. I scanned for a virus with ESET SmartSecurity 10 and with AdwCleaner and it finds nothing. Someone suggested I try the command "netstat". I get this "SYN_SENT" on port 8080. According to google it has to do with a firewall, but I have no firewall blocking edge. It also effects FireFox, but I managed to get FireFox to ignore system proxy settings. Any ideas? Thx in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test... Thx for replying. I tried netsh winhttp show proxy and it says "Current WinHTTP proxy settings: Direct access (no proxy server)" Just to be safe I tried netsh winhttp reset proxy and again I see "Current WinHTTP proxy settings: Direct access (no proxy server)". However I checked in the settings app (I am running Win 10 Enterprise - Creators Update) and it still shows the manual proxy enabled. Any ideas? EDIT: Just noticed that windows update cannot connect to the internet. Odd, because JDownloader can, and other apps too. All my apps are updating normally except for WU.

Kalju Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Perhaps this is not the topic theme, but 127 usually means a local machine / computer / server Example 127.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 Port 8080 and 8081 mean the http:// and https:// used for address of the web page Port 21 means ftp:// and port 22 denotes the sftp:// location.

stylemessiah Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 That will show system wide proxy settings if you had them in Internet Explorer...so your guess is as good as mine, weird Id next try resetting IE's settings, and if no go, try following through this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-iewindows8_1/lan-connection-settings-keep-changing-back-to/76a0f5d2-167f-41fa-bf40-1461b8c01642?page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used regedit to modify/create the values as described, no luck. I tried to use the proxy script http://localhost/proxy.pac but no luck either. EDIT: Just restarted the computer again and it shows manual proxy enabled, again. sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylemessiah Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 weirdness you could try the old full networking stack reset which is the following commands in an admin console netsh interface tcp reset and then netsh winsock reset and reboot other than that it would seem you have some service/bug that is inserting itself in above the usual networking suspects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installed MalwareBytes and it instantly found hijack reg keys. All is working well now. Thx for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
