    Hi...

    I am trying to open the following site: The Economic Times: Business News, Personal Finance, Financial News, India Stock Market Investing, Economy News, SENSEX, NIFTY, NSE, BSE Live, IPO News with IE9. But whenever I try to do so, I get the following error message:

    "Windows could not automatically determine this network's proxy settings".

    This is the only site on which this happens. Can someone please explain what is going on and more importantly why? Why is this happening only on this site and not on any other. I should also add that I am getting this error message since the last 12 hours or so. Prior to that this site opened as usual with IE9.

    Thanks

    Edit: I tried accessing the above-linked site with Chrome and with Opera and neither of them report this problem, which leads me to suspect that this is an issue with IE9 and a recent one at that.

    As beta tester, simply report this issue to MS :D

    LOL! Maybe I should. Though I do use IE9Beta, I am hardly a beta tester!

    I'd expect something like a "give feedback" or "report bugs" button or menu entry in IE9beta.
