Hi Paul

I followed your instructions and ticked the "never dial a connection" box but 
I'm still having the same problem when I go into outlook express from another 
programme.

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

  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.

  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???

  Thanks for any advice

  Edel
