Answer 5

I found that when I had this issue that I had to delete the application.config file from my solution. I was pulling the code from co-worker's repository whose config file was mapping to their local computer resources (and not my own). In addition to that, I had to create a new virtual directory as explained in the previous answers.

Answer 6

For all browsers,

• Open internet Options (or Internet properties)
• Go to connections tab
• Click on LAN Settings
• Tick Use proxy server for your LAN
• Tick Bypass proxy server for your local address (Don't change the port number)
• Click on Ok

Now you are good to go. :)
