This is my ongoing problem: It's a rainy day, so I was 'told' to "FIX THAT COMPUTER OF YOURS!".
It's an HP Pavilion 8699F running W98 and works very well for my purposes.
I use PeoplePC and then use Firefox.
Under tools the connection settings shows:
*Manual Configuration
HTTP Proxy: Localhost port 8080
all boxes are blank untill:
No Proxy for: Localhost, 127.0.0.1

Also, the System resources are at 67%.
When first starting PeoplePC it does connect but fails to load the page. There's still a connection, however. I'm knowledgeable enough about some of this, but know that I can be very destructive , too! What am I missing? At first I thought it was a Mozilla issue, but discarded that thinking when considering that PeoplePC won't even load in it's own page.
HELP!!
