Detecting proxy server means your computer is looking for the computer which shares internet to your computer. In your Tools-> options of internet explorer go to connections - lan settings, you will find "Automatically detect Proxy settings" enabled... You will have to get the IP addr of the comp which shares internet for your computer and add it "Use Proxy Sever" tab with port =80 (normal cases)... chk with ur system admin or ISP for details on the IP addr of the proxy server..
