This is driving me nuts

Hi all

 

Could do with a bit of assistance.

 

I had a network monitoring tool installed on a server (Yes i know bad practice). I have removed it and it's left my server unable to display web pages. If I open IE or Chrome I get page cannot be displayed.

 

Went to check proxy settings and low and behold it is greyed out. THere are no GPO's set and there is nothing in the registry that would point to a proxy server being set but my settings are greyed out.

 

I'll attach some screenshots.

 

Server version is 2016.

 

Any ideas on how I can re-enable this option as I think this is the problem.

 

Thanks

Try editing these

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

"MigrateProxy"=dword:00000001

"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001

"ProxyHttp1.1"=dword:00000000

"ProxyServer"="http://ProxyServername:80"

"ProxyOverride"=""

Have you logged in as the local administrator?

Can you try the following command in a command prompt and see if a proxy server is set there?

 

netsh winhttp show proxy

 

... followed by

 

netsh winhttp reset proxy

 

if you find anything

That seems to of done the trick...

 

No proxy was shown as set but ran the reset command anyway and I now have Internet access.

 

thanks for all of the quick replies.

Good to hear you've got it working but there may be some more digging to do to see what caused the problem in the first place.

 

Also, I don't know if it's a relic of the past that I'm holding on to, but I've always thought it wasn't advisable to install/use web browsers on server installations?

Its probably not, but this server is for such a small company it really makes no odds lol.
