Random IP taking over!
Whenever I open up Firefox, it loads 211.112.180.120 as a proxy server through which I need to connect to the internet.
But I don't want this proxy so I click on Options>General>Connection Settings> then check the "Direct Connection to the Internet".
But when I close Firefox, and load it back up, it keeps using 211.112.180.120 and switches back to using it.
And 211.112.180.120 does not work! AHHHH!
Please help. weep

When you select that and clicked ok for the connection box... did you click ok to close the options box or did you just click cancel or the [x]?

What Internet connection do you have? and do you have a router connected to your PC?
Im thinking your ISP must have Proxy enabled but thats like a longshot because hardly anyone uses that anymore unless they want to restrict what sites you can go to.
Try this then, go into you command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" and press enter, now check to see if it says "yes" for WINS PROXY ENABLED. If it is enabled and you dont have a router then your ISP uses proxy in which case you cant do anything.

I don't have a router and it is not enabled.
Did you install an proxy extension?
From Mozilla help webpage ----v
proxyResolveFailure
The proxy server can't be found
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server, but that proxy server cannot be found.
* Check the proxy settings in "Preferences" to make sure they are correct.
* Check to make sure you computer has a working network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
