The proxy settings are most likely causing the issues because the computer is unable to access the Internet, send email, or establish a network connection. The other options are not likely causing the issues because the computer's NIC is functioning correctly, there are no rogue antivirus programs or firewall rules blocking the connection, and there is no evidence of ransomware.
