Detecting Proxy Settings

[rxfeldman]

Hello People

Whenever I open an new IE page it shows in the status "Detecting Proxy Settings" and takes severl seconds more like 15 to 20 to open a new page

Also on a search results page when I make a selection and prmpt it to open in a new page it crashes!! and closes all open IE pages..

Any ideas

Thanks

. In IE, Tools, Internet Options, Connections, click on LAN Settings and then uncheck every entry on that page. Save your changes.

. Run IEFix:

Word to the wise...

Just wanted to point out that the "automatically detect settings" entry was the likely culprit that you unchecked. I would caution anyone else following this fix to only change that entry.

Any others (like the proxy configuration script) are likely set for a reason if they are checked. The company I work for, as one example, requires that entry to be enabled for "external" internet access.

This checkbox i used when the proxy settings are provided by the dhcp server.
