Tools, options,connections and UNCHECK close after sending and receiving..THAT may be your problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: <poppy0206@xxxxxxx> To: <PCTechTalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2005 5:28 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- getting disconnected on dial up connection Hi everyone, This is cristy from my old aol account. I cannot stay online on my earthlink account for some reason. I called them and checked and tried different dial up phone numbers, they said they all checked out fine. I would sign on and be knocked off in ten seconds. Im on now on earthlink, so far so good. What seems to be happening is when I try to open "outlook express" to read my email is when I get bumped off. I never had a problem with this before. Any suggestions? I can read my aol email, no problem but opening outlook to read other mail results in disconnection. This is something new, was working fine before. thanks, christy -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
