Click the tab Advanced to bring it to the front:
In the Property box, the property name to be selected varies according to model of ethernet card. Examples are: Network Link Selection, Media Type, Connection Type, Duplex Mode, or any similarly-named property which can have Values looking like Auto-Negotiation, or 10BT, or 10BaseT.
In the Value box, select a value which either (a) explicitly says half-duplex or semi-duplex, or (b) at least does not say full-duplex [e.g. 10BaseT on its own is OK]. If there is a choice between 10 and 100 with half-duplex, choose the 10. Do not choose 10Base5, 10Base2, or AUI.
Click OK to exit the Adapter settings.
Click OK to exit the Connection properties.
Close the Network and Dial-up Connections window.
Continue with Internet Options setup below.
Windows all versions: Internet Options setup
Open Control Panel.
Double-click Internet Options.
Click on the tab Connections to bring it to the front.
Check Never dial a connection.
Click on button LAN Settings...
UNcheck Automatically detect settings (this speeds up IE launches).
UNcheck Use automatic configuration script.
UNcheck Use a proxy server (unless you want an explicit setting as below).
Click OK to exit Local Area Network settings.
Click OK to exit Internet Options.
