Hello Sharon, I am sorry, but I do not really understand why, if you are on a broadband connection, you do not just sign onto the internet every time you switch the PC on. That would solve your problem.

I have just changed over from Outlook Express to Outlook, and am having problems receiving my mail. I always have to go on to internet explorer first, as if I don't and am not online, I keep getting an error message. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change, as I don't always want to go on to the internet just to download my messages. Hope that is clear enough, and hope some of you knowledgeable lot out there can help. I am using Windows XP, Office Xp, and BT Broadband, Jaws 5.1. Many thanks.
