-=PCTechTalk=- Re: internet access sign in question and outlook express question

Cristy,
    The first problem sounds like there has been a change in what Windows 
considers to be your default connection.  Go to Control Panel > Network 
Connections and right click on each to see whether your dial up or high 
speed connection is set as the default.  The one set to default will have a 
line that says something like "Cancel as default connection".  If it shows 
up on the Cox connection, leave it alone.  If it shows up on the high speed 
connection, click on it to reset the default to the Earthlink one.

    If the previous directions were not of any help, go back into Control 
Panel and open up the Internet Options applet.  Click on the Connections tab 
and look for your Earthlink setup in the main list area.  It should show 
that it's set as the Default.  Let us know if it doesn't.

    As far as your email password is concerned, you'll need to change the 
password in OE as well.  With OE open, go to Tools > Accounts and double 
click on the account you're looking to fix.  Click on the Servers tab and 
replace the existing password (shown as ******) with your new password.  OK 
your way out of there to seal the deal.        :O)

Peace,
GMan
