i'm talking about control panel-network and internet-internet options
then go to connection tab. click LAN settings. check automatically detect settings

when i first install windows, this is checked by default
however, if i leave this checked, my d2 client will take about 10 seconds to launch
if i uncheck this, it takes 1 second

i thought this only affect my browser, didn't know it would affect d2 as well
anyone know why?

some programs that don't have proxy settings use internet options (internet explorer) to achieve this.
for example, Chrome does this

I found this interesting document:

The length of delay that occurs when the name resolution query is unsuccessful depends on the name resolution mechanisms that your organization uses. When the name resolution query is unsuccessful, the browser skips the procedure in which the IP address that is retrieved by isInNet is matched. Instead, the browser sends an ordinary Web proxy request, which causes the Web pages to load but with a long delay.

The delay occurs only when the name resolution query is unsuccessful. If the clients are locally configured with a DNS server that can resolve all DNS names on the Internet, you do not experience a delay when the Web pages load.

Well I know you've had DNS issues in the past, and after reading that article (even though I didn't understand 100% of it), it does seem to invovle DNS; although I'm not sure if it fits your problem... Might be worth messing with it to see what happens though.

No. Uncheck it and move on with your life. Do you seriously obsess about every little thing like this?
