Summary: Connect Fail using localhost 8118 proxy

Initial Comment:
I cannot seem to be able to use a "localhost" proxy.  

I installed Tor and Privoxy (v 3.03), carefully 
following all instructions for Windows XP with IE 
browser.

All firewalls have been turned off ...to the best of 
my knowledge.

But regardless of which site I attempt to browse, I 
receive an Error page #503: "This is Privoxy 3.0.3 on 
localhost (127.0.0.1), port 8118, 
enabled," ... "Connect failed".

My ISP is Roadrunner - does that have anything to do 
with the problem?

Thanks for any tips you might be able to provide.

Your problem description sounds like a misconfiguration.
Most likely your ISP has nothing to do with the problem.

Please make sure your Tor client is working
correctly and listening on the address where
Privoxy expects it to.

If you still see the problem, please describe
your setup in more detail, and how it deviates
from Privoxy's default configuration.
