2.In the Control Panel window, click on the Network and Internet Options icon.

3.In the Network and Internet Connections window, click the Internet Options icon.

Note button

5.Verify that the “Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections).” option is NOT checked. If it is checked, click in the checked box to deselect the option and click OK.

Alternatively, you can access this Internet Options menu using the Tools pull-down menu in Internet Explorer.
