Thanks again Paul My broadband is now running smoothly when I switch to outlook express from another programme. It's amazing all these little boxes that need ticking.. I found the help section of the kurzwell programme so I'm wading my way through that. My supernova disc is at work and I'm off for two weeks, hence me being able to spend loads of time catching up on all these postings to the message board so I'll give you a buzz when I get it.. Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge. Cheers!

If I wait and follow the connect prompt everything is fine but if I go to send recieve before I've 'connected' it freezes. Do you reckon its a call to eircom that I need to make and if so, have you got the appropriate number. Please..... Thanking you in anticipation Edel ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Traynor To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 7:04 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: broadband connection Hi Edel, Try the following; 1. Go to the desktop and press letter "I" for internet explorer. 2. press the application key on it, "third out from right of spacebar". 3. Arrow down to properties and press the enter key. 4. When it opens up press keys "control + tab" about "4 or 5 times" till you hear it say connection page. 5. Now tab along till you come to a little group of checkboxes which should read as follows; *. Never dial a connection. *. Always dial my default connection. *. Dial a connection when no network is present. From the above group you should choose "never dial a connection" as now you are permanently on-line and have no need anymore for a dial-up connection. This may stop the behavior you are experiencing. When you have made your selection, just tab to the "ok button" and press the enter key. Paul. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Edel Carey Sent: 21 May 2007 18:00 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] broadband connection I switched to broadband and I'm having to connect everytime I switch on or go from one programme to another. Is this normal. Can I change settings that it is always on or is it a task for eircom. I havn't met anyone else who has to connect each time they switch on???
