Options > Advanced > Network > Connection is set to Use System proxy settings. Additional information, Chrome and IE are working fine in this scenario.

I don't know if you use a proxy at work, but before leaving your work to go home, can you set these settings to "no proxy" and test at home.

Yes I use proxy at work. That means every time I have to change this settings when I come back to home from work or go to work. Can't this happen automatically like chrome? Some more information, I checked chrome settings and found that it by default uses system settings. Then I checked my LAN settings. It is set to the following; Use Automatic configuration script and an web address is given.(e.g. http://xyz.name.com/)
But it's a thing that the IT guy of your corporate should manage if you use your work computer at home.
Thanks. I will try the PAC file option. But just curious, how chrome is able to handle it? I don't need to make any changes to chrome settings and it works absolutely fine.
put this on daniel's radar
