IE8 Start Pages not loading
I'm experiencing a problen when starting Internet explorer 8.
Whenever I define a start page that is on the internet, and I start IE8, the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" (see attached file) message is displayed. Only when I refresh the tab (press F5) the connection is made.
All intranet pages are loaded at IE startup, only the internet sites never load. I'm assuming that the proxy settings are not loading when IE starts, but that's a guess.
Does anyone know how to allow all pages to load correctly at startup?
Running on a Windows 2003 Server with Proxy server for internet access. Intranet sites do not require the proxy server. Proxy settings are configured using a script that is located on the proxy server (PAC Script)

Proxy and DNS are working fine. Consider that when I reload the page, the conenction is made without problems and the website is displayed. It is only not working when IE starts for the first time.
For a more visual explanation, let me try to list the steps:
1. IE8 is started
2. IE loads start pages. Intranet websites are loaded, Internet websites are not (error above is shown on internet websites)
3. I select a tab where an internet website should be loaded
4. I press F5 (refresh page)
5. Internet website is loaded without problems
