If you experiment with Azure and are trying to run worker roles on your local machine, there might popup an annoying error looking like:

[MonAgentHost] Error: MA EVENT: 2014-02-13T15:51:22.057Z
[MonAgentHost] Error: 2
[MonAgentHost] Error: 8804
[MonAgentHost] Error: 6740
[MonAgentHost] Error: NetTransport
[MonAgentHost] Error: 0
[MonAgentHost] Error: 1e573a0a-5306-4114-b24b-b48441a
[MonAgentHost] Error: netutils.cpp
[MonAgentHost] Error: OpenHttpSession
[MonAgentHost] Error: 749
[MonAgentHost] Error: 0
[MonAgentHost] Error: 2f94
[MonAgentHost] Error:
[MonAgentHost] Error: WinHttpGetProxyForUrl(http://127.0.0.1) failed ERROR_WINHTTP_AUTODETECTION_FAILED (12180)

To get rid of this, you need to disable the “Automatically detect settings” in the Windows Internet Options -> Connection -> LAN Settings.
