I have 2 pcs with win2K on them networked and have ICS enabled for my cable connection.Whenever I try to connect to the internet after periods of inactivity or when I have first booted I get the message 'detecting proxy settings' for upwards of 15 secs before it connects.Now whilst this isn't really a problem I was wondering if I can speed things up by getting rid of this stage? Thx in advance.
