[resolved] ME proxy

Just got my puter cleaned over at the HJT forum. Now my problem is the internet settings in IE keep resetting to the proxy setting when I disconnect or reboot. Any ideas?

Thanks Stu for the reply.

But thats one of the settings that I have to keep resetting, the other is under "my connection" and I have to recheck "automactically detect settings" . Also some other programs that need to connect to the net want to setup using "localhost:8080".

Don't put checkmarks in any of the LAN settings.

Are you running a server?

Check the Hosts file (no extensions), typically the only entry is 127.0.0.1 localhost

While in IE try putting

HTML Code:

http://localhost:8080/

in the address field, it should return the 'The page cannot be displayed' default.
