When launching the IE the lower bar on the windows reads "detecting proxy settings" and it takes 1 min 55 sec to find the home-page, that is way too long for high speed internet service. The boxes on IE tools>internet options>connections>LAN settings>automatic configurations are all unchecked. Any insights on what the problem could be? Once the home page is found the internet browsing seems to work fine but only when doing so within the same window. If another IE window is launched the result is the same, i.e. it takes ages to find the web-page and the same message "detecting proxy settings" on the lower bar.
