Outbound PPTP connection on my home XP Pro machine. Connecting to my ISA box at the office. It's on a DSL, Win2K Server. At home I have RoadRunner (Cable modem). I only recently added the Hotmail service to Outlook Express (before I only used OE for newsreading) and turns out that for some reason OE was killing my PPTP connection whenever it checked Hotmail for new messages. No biggie; when I get the refresh of Outlook 2003 Beta I'll probably move my Hotmail service back to Outlook anyhow. -Ben- Ben M.

Thanks!

Long as I don't start OE, problem doesn't happen. Go figure. -Ben- Ben M.
