Asking for Proxy Authentication, but I have no proxy to go through

Proxy settings are used when your Mac computer is connected to a network that requires a proxy server to access the internet.  These can be discarded when your computer is directly connected to the router or the router installed is the default gateway for accessing the internet.

• You may disable the proxy settings for different network services you are using such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet
• Click the Apple icon then select the System Preferences… option.
• Select Network
• From the left pane, select the network service you wish to disable the proxy settings on, then click the Advanced... button.
• Select the Proxies tab then uncheck all protocols under Select a protocol to configure then click OK once done
• restart the machine and then try

That's the problem, it's my private, home connection and no proxy has ever been used here, or on computer.

Hello, do you have a solution for this? I borrowed a new computer and cannot install anything.

Thanks

anyone with answers to this?

I went through the troubleshooting guide for installing apps, I did the host file patching, and still have this issue. I would buy the apps if I thought it would install but I don't think that would help either.
