How to Get Internet Explorer to Stop Detecting a Proxy
Microsoft Internet Explorer is a web browser that comes with the Windows operating system. It is also freely distributed on the official Microsoft website. One option the browser has is the ability to automatically detect a proxy server. This setting is in the network properties for the web browser. If these settings are configured in Internet Explorer and no proxy server exists, you will not be able to access the Internet. You can remove automatic proxy server detection in the properties window.
