Hi all - interesting problem No1001...
Laptop System W98 with IE5.5 or 6 (tried both) on LAN runs thru a proxy (say 10.1.1.1 port80) has a tick in both discover and also named (use)proxy server and works great. However, remove from LAN and use dial up networking to any ISP (I've tried a few) and IE grinds to a halt, wont even open a page (timeout - not DNS).
I can ping and tracert to ANY website and the speed is fine,
I've tried removing the named proxy server, ripped out and reinstalled IE, removed TCP/IP (although left base netcard).
Only thing I can think of was that AOL and freeserve were installed (oh foolish user!) at one point and they may have left something nasty which is inflicting pain on IE....
Help?
