Go to IE tools/internet options/advanced and make sure the option to automatically check for IE updates is turned off. Otherwise, there is something trying to access the internet. Do an inventory of your programmes to check for any likely culprits.
Go to start/run and type MSCONFIG. Check the start up tab for any possible culprits.
