On the other hand, my Windows 7 side has a few programs that can connect and others that cannot.

Programs which can connect:

• Firefox

• Google Chrome
• Steam Browser

I ran the automatic troubleshooter, and it says "The Configured Proxy Server is Not Responding."

I also ran Malwarebytes, and while it did come up with a few trojans, nothing it did solved the problem.

Gosh, I certainly hope I'm not being ignored because the answer is just so obvious...
