If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the wrench menu >Settings > Show advanced settings.

If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.

If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.

Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings.

Restart any router, modem, or other network devices you may be using. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured. Google Chrome's connection attempt to was rejected. I receive the following error message in Chrome: I would greatly appreciate advice about how to fix this problem! Thank you! I also tried temporarily disabling my firewall, but that did not help. To see if Chrome was the only problem, I downloaded and installed Mozilla Firefox, but that browswer does not work either. Internet Explorer is the only browser works. Meanwhile, my connection problem still persists. Because I wanted some antivirus software, I downloaded and installed Microsoft Security Esentials, and it was able to update itself successfully. At this point I uninstalled Chrome, restarted my computer, and reinstalled Chrome, but I got the same error message. Even when I had no antivirus installed, Chrome didn't work.

I noticed that I couldn't connect to the Internet using Chrome, and there was a problem with an Avira Update, so I uninstalled the whole program. My trial of Norton 360 expired, so I uninstalled the program and downloaded and installed Avira Free Antivirus. This started after I switched free antivirus programs (details below). I am unable to connect to the Internet using Google Chrome (my preferred Internet browser) or Mozilla Firefox.
