Internet Explorer restting it's own proxy settings..
I have a Dimension XPS T600r running Windows 98. My Internet is very slow to come up, always showing "detecting proxy settings" at the bottom of the screen while it waits to connect. When it finally connects, everything is great and I can browse from site to site very quickly. Any idea what's happening?
In Internet Explorer : Tools/Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings - I unchecked the two options (1: automatically detect settings 2: use automatic configuration script)
Then without closing that browser window, I opened a new one. Low and behold, it opened in less than a second!! (ok really fast)
Then I closed them both, and tried to open a brand new one.....and the detecting proxy game starts again. After waiting for a minute and finally having the browser window open, I check my settings to find that the "use automatic configuration script" box has rechecked itself, and has the same address: http://proxy:8080 in the window. I've tried to uncheck them and start over a few times, also deleting the address does no good. It just comes back again and again. Any ideas? By the way, the dial up settings window is empty, and I don't have aol.

jrmacrawford,
Thank you for visiting the Dell Community Forum.
If you have not already done so, you may want to power your message in one of the Inspiron Forums (this Forum is for Dimension desktop modem issues) as you may be more likely to get answers to question concerning Inspiron systems in those Forums.
