Can’t access the Internet on your computer? Does it indicate limited connectivity? Whatever the reason, the first thing to do is simply run a network diagnostic, which in this case will show you the error message “Remote device or resource does not accept the connection”.
What causes the “the remote device or resource won’t accept the connection” problem in Windows PC?
The cause of the “Remote device or resource does not accept the connection” error usually depends on the Internet traffic that is transmitted when using the browser. If you configure your PC to use a proxy server, all Internet requests will be routed to your proxy server, and the proxy server will handle all Internet traffic.
In addition, the error that the remote device or resource does not accept the connection also occurs if you have configured your local network settings incorrectly. However, the main reason for this error message is related to corporate networks and the IT department. The IT department changes the local network settings to use its proxy server to access the Internet connection.
Therefore, if you try to connect to the Internet and your Internet settings remain the same, you may see the ‘Remote device or resource does not accept connection’ error in Google Chrome or other browsers.
