It says detecting proxy settings because you're set up to auto-detect a proxy and you're not using one. It's an easy fix.

In Internet Exlporer, go to Tools>Internet Options. Pop over to the Connections tab and down at the bottom there's a button called LAN Settings.. press it and remove all the checks in the Window that comes up. Problem solved.

It bothers me slightly that I can recite all of this from memory. I've been doing tech support too damn long...

As to your newsreader, it's hard to say what's going on without actually seeing it. But then, I haven't been on usenet in years, so maybe someone with a bit more knowledge on the subject can give you something to go off of there.

EDIT - Well, that was weird. I only saw one other reply until I posted this one. Seeing as there's no new information here, you can safely disregard this post.

No, you can't have your thirty seconds back. They're mine now.
