alright so i just recently had a poblem with my computer where some "web proxy" wasnt allowing me to get on the INTERENT through safari or mozzila, and i finnaly FIXED it by clicking some setting and it worked i got onto the interent at my mom... which is wireless. but when i got to my dads i plugged in my ethernet cable and it didnt work every browser kept saying that i was not connected to the internet although i have two other computers in my house and the internet on them is working just fine. i tryed unplugging the cable and switching them around. i think the problem is that i was messing around with the settings, can anyone help me.. i relly need to fix this problem??? (:Hi,

I'm guessing your on a MAC?

I'm also gessing that you adjusted the proxy server settings to point to your mom's proxy server.

So when you are not at your mom's you need to remove this setting.

It's under FIREFOX->Preferences->Advanced->Network. Look for the text"

Configure how Firefox connects to the Internet"

CHOOSE the option "Direct Connection to the Internet" when at your dad's

Choose the option for the proxy server when at your mom's.

Picture attached. Might be a little different depending on which MacOS you are using, and which verion of Firefox

Hope this helps
