Apple laptop internet connectivity issue

Hi all,

I took my laptop into school and they made some changes to the laptop now im having an issue connecting my laptop to the internet.

My laptop will connect to the Wi-Fi in my house but when i try and access the internet a message is displayed that says that safari can not conect to the proxy server.

anybody got any ideas

Sounds like they set up a proxy server connection. In Safari go to preferences > advanced > change settings. In there I presume a proxy will be ticked. Try unticking it and see does that help.

Tried that, it doesn't seem to work

Deep Thought

is it a Mac ?

System Preferences>Network then select the Advanced button in the lower right. Then select Proxies, and de-select

Thanks for the responses the issue has been resolved

Well what was it? I don't have the problem, but it's nice to clarify what fixed it for future purposes if people have the same problem and can't fix it.

i'd love to know as well the housemate just said she "fixed it" but she has no idea how she did it
