Launch Internet Explorer select Tools > Internet Options > Select the Connections Tab >
put a check next to “Never Dial a Connection”.
Now click on the “Lan Settings” button and put a check next to “Automatically Detect Settings”
click the OK button on the Lan settings window and then click the Apply button on the connections window.
