    In IE
    Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections.
    Click LAN Settings
    uncheck 'Use proxy server'
    Ever stop to think and forget to start again?

    Or in Firefox Tools/Options/Connection Settings

    Check Direct Connection to the internet

    So does that sound correct for your normal ISP?

    Are you using a router, and talking about a 192.168 address?
