IE problem

Hey, when i use IE (im using v6) WHen ever i try to access any webpage, it will sit there for like 10+ seconds with "detecting proxy settings..." in the status bar??? I tried using mozilla, and its lightning quick pages load almost instantly?

I dont have a clue how to fix this, if anyone has a clue plz help!

Later!
