This also happens in internet explorer if I have been working offline, click 'online' and internet explorer says an internet connection is not available, also no option to connect! If you quit out of it, then open IE again, all is fine and a connection can be made. Favourites can be connected from the start menu as normal. There must be a setting for this somewhere, but I am blowed if I can find it! |

| 221507 | 2004-03-10 02:22:00 | Both IE and Outlook Express are integrated such than if one is 'offline', the other is also. What I am getting at is, why, when you change to 'online' IE doesn't bring up the connection dialogue box, but instead just says it cannot find server. If you quit completely out of IE, then open it again you get the connection box as normal. | billc (821) | ||
| 221508 | 2004-03-10 02:40:00 | Check in IE under Tools - Internet Options - Connections and make sure your ISP dial up connection is in the box and that it is set as default. Also check that the option Always dial my default connection is selected. | CYaBro (73) | ||
