an automatic proxy setup screen continues to appear no matter how many times I try to change the settings. The proxy is [ 127.0.0.1:51308 ] I have tried to go to that site on my laptop but even it won't talk with the site. I have tried to reset the proxy, deleted it all together, but no matter what I try, it always comes back, as if it were hardwired into the system. Any solution other than buying a new board?
 
Solution
That is your machine. You might find a process listening on port 51308. Generally this type of thing is installed if you have been using vpns sometimes they do not cleanly get uninstalled. Otherwise it is some form of malware.
