How to change the proxy settings in Internet Explorer

Have you tired clicking on Internet explorer and it didn't display a webpage, even if you know you have an internet connection and you checked your firewall and everything to no success? You're IE might be using a proxy server before without you knowing it (coz of other users) and it disables your internet activity. Here's the solution.
1. Click on Internet Explorer
2. Go to Tools, then Internet Options
3. Go to Connections tab, then click on LAN Settings
4. Uncheck the box for Proxy server settings then click on OK.
5. Close Internet Explorer and reopen it.
You should be seeing a webpage now.

Count then share blessings like Web traffic exchange to others.

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR INTERNET EXPLORER 8?

My Acer Aspire 4310 (a very old laptop) went through a lot of operating system reinstallation. My co-worker even noticed that I’m doing a lot of work (meaning a lot of opened application / window at the same time) using Intel Celeron proc (multitasking) but the speed is still ok. This might be a scenario where not all Celeron proc fails when a lot of windows are opened at the same time. I said, I could be a reason (the user) why the laptop is not hanging or something (hahaha). With windows XP, it’s perfect, with windows Vista, though, it lags for a second or two. Anyway, I just recently installed IE8 for my newly installed XP Pro SP3. So what’s new about IE8?

I don’t know if these features are included with IE7, but let me tell you anyways. 1. You can turn on/off your “SUGGESTED SITES” or mostly visited sites. 2. SmartScreen Filter is strengthening for your protection against malicious software, fraudulent websites and online phising scams. 3. InPrivate browsing that it will not leave any traces of your internet activity, so no histories. 4. Accelerator lets you map directions, translate words, email your friends, etc with a simple clicks; and 5. Search Suggestion, to which it will display possible search keywords.
