I face a new problem with a modem installed property. Everything is OK  dial-up connection OK, pinging the website, but I was not apple to browse any website using Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Error message is The proxy server is refusing connections so please help me tell me what to do.  

The proxy server is refusing connections

Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.

Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.

Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.

You shouldn't be using proxy servers. Well there are few ways which i know of that could solve your problem

I Would recommend you try this first 

 

Open Internet Explorer. Click Tools or

Go to "Internet settings/Internet Options" in control panel. 

Then "Connections" Tab on the top Row.

Then click on the "LAN Settings". 

Uncheck/Disable/Turn OFF any reference to proxies, configuration files or similar.

 

For Firefox 

 

Click the "Tools" tab in Firefox which will display a drop-down menu. Click "Options" from the menu.

An Option Dialogue Box will appear. Select the "Advanced" tab.

On the "Advanced" screen, click the "Network" tab, and then the "Settings" tab.

Select the option that says "No Proxy."

Click "OK," then click "OK" again on the next screen. You have now disabled the proxy settings.
