Chrome asks for proxy authentication for every page I open, IE doesn't

Question

Chrome used to run properly, when all of sudden it started asking for my proxy's username and password on every page I open. After I enter them, I see the page, but then I need to type them again whenever I open another link.

Chrome (last version) is behind my university's proxy, whose address is configured in Win7 "lan settings". IE works fine. I Restarted Chrome, but it didn't help.

What could it be?

Thank you.

Solution

Go to Settings.

Scroll down to "+ Show advanced settings" and click it.

Scroll down until you see "Network," and click "Change proxy settings..."

Once you get there, you should see a dialog box similar to what would pop in IE's settings, and you're going to click the "Connections" tab.

In that tab, you'll see near the lower right-hand corner "LAN Settings," click it.

Once loaded, at the bottom, if the "Proxy server" box is checked, uncheck it and see if that works.
