Hi,
Please consider this a non-authorative reply in so far as
although I had this problem, and resolved it, your particular
situation may be different.
My problem stemmed from the fact that although I have a DSL
connection, I had configured IE with some dial-up profiles.
Removing the dial up profiles fixed the issue.
Seeing as you are connected to a router, you shouldn't need
your dial-up profiles. And, unless you are using a VPN, there
shouldn't be any VPN's.
If you are using a Virtual Private Network to communicate
securely, disregard the rest of my advice, or try the alternate
suggestion.
To remove dial-up profiles (if you are not using dial-up):
To remove the profiles:
Close all IE sessions.
Spawn a single IE session.
Click on |Tools| > |Internet Options|.
Click on the |Connection| Tab.
Select any dial-up profiles that may be present and remove them
all.
Click on Apply.
If you use automatic configuration scripts, or are running a
proxy server, then stop here, and see if it works. If you do not
use configuration scripts, and aren't running any proxies,
continue:
Click on |Lan Settings...|
Uncheck all boxes in the |LAN settings| box.
Click on OK.
This should serve to remedy the problem. If it doesn't, please
post back to this specific thread.
Best regards,
Altrus
