Go to Tools>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings and uncheck the Use a Proxy Server for your Lan and click OK.

Before you do the uncheck, click on advanced and write down the numbers in the entries just in case it does not work.



I do that for all unchecks just to be safe.

I also had this happen and your suggestion is just what I did to get it back to normal. This has happened to me a couple of other times and this solution worked also.
