Hello everyone. I am an IT student in New Zealand, I have recently studied wordpress and built my own very first website http://www.vono.co.nz , and turned it into an online shop selling wall stickers. Although I had problems here and there but at last the site went online and started generating sales.
Everything went smoothly until about 3 weeks ago, I found that my sales dropped 90%, I thought it might be just a random week, but it continued week after week, I thought all the reasons I could think of, like competitors, viciousness clicks on my google adwords, but none of them could stand. Until today, I accidentally discovered that my site has this problem with IE users, under internet options ---> Connections, if someone had "Dial whenever a network connection is not present"

then when they click on any link from my site, there will be their dial up pop up window ask them to connect, as if their internet connection is lost.

This does not affect firefox or safari users.
I am pretty sure it worked fine before and my second wordpress online shop does not have this issue.
This is now driving me nuts, I really could not find any answer on the internet. Has anyone else come across this problem before? Could you think of anything that might cause this problem? any thought would be great help!
