Networking help Please.

[Verb]

I was recently doing soe peer to peer networking with my computer and my sister's. I was using a crossover network cable when doing some transfers and now when I connect my regular network cable in, it is kinda screwy.. When I launch my internet explorer, there is about a 10second delay where it says "detecting proxy server" then it works fine. But that 10seconds "detecting proxy server" is always there when I launch it and it is annoying the hell outta me. Anyone knows if this is a common problem cause this never happens on my computer before.


Thanx guyz....

click on Connections tab
click on "Lan Settings" button
un-check "Automatically detect settings"

Open Intenet Explorer, Then click on 'Tools', 'Internet Options'. Then click on the 'Connections' tab.

At the bottom of that window you will see a button called 'LAN Settings'. Click on the button.

In the new window at the top under 'Automatic Configuration', uncheck 'Automatically Detect Settings'.

Then click ok to everything then close IE. When you open the browser again, it should not look for a proxy.

Hope this helps.

From what I understand MS has or just about is to discontinue support for Win 2000.
