I am on a ship using a proxy server from our ISP to connect to the internet via a V-SAT satalite dome. We all have individual accounts and the guys using PC's have no problems connecting to the internet. My account also works on a P.C. However whenever i try to connect to the internet I get an Error message 403 "the following URL could not be found" "access denied". However if I disable my proxy settings reconnect to the internet then re-enable my proxy settings I am able to get on line but only for a minute or two then i get the message again. Switching off my proxies then on again always gets me on line but only for a very short period (30 secs to a minute ish). There has been an occasional time when I have been able to access the internet for longer but only when there has been 3 or 4 people on line and browsing at the same time. I have spoken to my ISP and he thinks I may have been piggy backing onto someone elses account but was unable to offer any other adice and reffered my case to someone else and I am still waiting for their response.
I am running a mac book pro on snow leopard 10.6.4, using firefox (have the same problem with Safari) with proxy set to "use system settings" and my network preferences set with the given proxy server settings (192.168.10.132, port 3128). I have the same problems using wifi or cable also.
Other info: my IP address stays the same. Although my cable IP is different from my wifi address. IPv6 is set to automatic.
I think the problem lies with my mac as my given user account works on P.C computers ( which I am using now!). Also there are 3 other guys with mac books who have also had the same problems although they are now at home.
I have also tried changing to a guest account with similar problems although i cannot change proxy settings.
