The proxy server is refusing connections







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



It worked this morning, and now it is not working.  It keeps doing this me.  It will work, and then when I go to get on it again, it no longer works.         



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

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