How to remove a machine proxy

Besides a user proxy which may be accessed via Internet Explorer>Tools>Internet Options there may be a proxy set on the machine itself.

To find out open a command prompt and type:-

netsh winhttp show proxy

This usually comes back with Direct access <no proxy server>

If, however, there is a proxy listed it can be removed by typing:-

netsh winhttp reset proxy

Having a machine proxy set may prevent connections to the Hosted Applications service.
