computer can't connect to internet.

[AndyS]

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?

2. Have you tried the windows troubleshooter

In control panel-troubleshooting section. There is one for internet and one for network adapters. Try both.

3. You can also try resetting the network

Just use search for reset network or find that option under windows settings network category.

7. Can you ping any internet server? open CMD command prompt type

ping google.com. 4 fast replies means you have a good internet connection and this is a chrome issue.

4. You probably just need to turn off the proxy server

It probably was accidentally enabled during the update process.I remember this being very easy, but I can’t remember where the setting is. Probably in network settings.
You should be able find the solution with a google search for “disable proxy server.”

8. No joy. I've always used proxy.
