Having an odd problem with my Surface Pro running Win 8: I get solid Wifi connectivity, but when I am on the Metro home screen and attempt to check mail, update through the store, open NextGen Reader or open Internet Explorer I get a "You're not connected to the Internet" message. Odd that the mail icon has told me I have emails, the store icon has told me I have updates, and the NextGen icon has told me I have unread feeds.
If I go to the desktop and open Internet Explorer, it works perfectly.
If I change Explorer|Tools|Internet Options|Connections|LAN Settings to uncheck the "Use Proxy Server" checkbox, everything works perfectly: IE on the desktop continues to work, and I can return to the Metro screen and everything works fine there.mg:
If I shut down, all settings revert back to what they were, and I have to go through the drill again. The "Use Proxy Server" box won't stay unchecked after shutdown. :angry:
Does anybody have any ideas?
TIA!
