If you are not using a proxy server, un-check that option in Internet

I have cable for internet. Whenever I click on the IE to open up on the
bottom says detecting the proxy and takes about a good 30 seconds before
it
gets me the starting page. This also happens for Outlook Express. Is there
anything I can do to remedy this annoying wait time? I don't recall
changing
anything. I am running AV, firewall in the background. Thanks for any
suggestion.
