The thing about Internet Explorer is that if a Proxy Server is set then a majority of the programs in Windows use those settings meaning that Skype and other online applications won't be able to connect either.
If you would click on the start menu and type "internet" in the search bar do not press enter. This should list above it all of the different things that match the search in a minimalistic way and you will see Internet Options. Click on this...another way to get there is to open Internet Explorer click the gear and then click on Internet Options toward the bottom of the context menu
Once in Internet Options you will see a tab along the top should be the 5th if not mistaken that says "Connections" Click on the connections tab and you will see a button toward the bottom that says LAN Settings click that button and see if there is a check in the Use Proxy Server For Your LAN. If it is checked uncheck it click on OK then OK. Close your browser and restart it
We'll start there....
I dont use internet explorer, I never have on this PC. I use Chrome and I tried that suggestion already from a previous post. LAN settings are set to auto detect
Appreciate the help guys
