If you use a provider that does not require a proxy server, Internet pages may not load until approx. 10 seconds after Internet Explorer is called up. The most prominent example of such a provider is America Online (AOL). Here we show you how to switch off the search for proxy servers:
1. Start Internet Explorer and click on Extras/Internet options.
2. Now switch to the tab Connections and click on the button Settings. Remove the tick in front of Automatic search of the settings.
After clicking OK, AOL and similar providers also load the pages much faster.
