It could be a browser-addon, but perhaps could also be software installed at system level (chrome surely looks quite suspicious for that). Doesn't wireshark show some SYN packets going to ask.com before this line? > Opera has been completely unusable for about two years because it > takes about a minute to load a file off local disk (it is fine on the > web). Cannot reproduce that with opera on my machine. (and perhaps the opera-people weren't able, either.) Perhaps you use network-drives mounted locally? Or an over-eager virus-scanner, that intercepts local file reads? Or such without the "-scanner"... > Is there a way to sneak around it in case it is screwing things up? Subscribe to a different one. But your problem doesn't so far look like it was the IAP's responsibility. While they could force a more or less transparent proxy upon all your connections to the outside world, they surely have no means to interfere with local file accesses, unless something goes wrong in the browser.
