215671 2004-02-15 05:20:00 When I click internet explorer button my web browser starts as per normal , but instead of getting a dial up box straight away I get this other box telling me there is no internet connection would I like to "work off line" or "try again" buttons. If I click "try again" I get the regular dial up box and away I go.

It's more annoying than anything els ,I not sure if I have done any changes to create this.

XP pro using IE6 6 sp1

Thanks John

215672 2004-02-15 06:08:00 Tools --> Internet Options --> Connections --> Always Dial My Default Connection

Check that, and other settings in there.

215674 2004-02-15 09:31:00 Perhaps recreate your dial up networking setup and see if that kills the problem? JohnD (509)
215675 2004-02-15 17:35:00 dial it up as you need to then goto file/work offline and Untick it....... drcspy (146)
215676 2004-02-16 01:15:00 I got this after having the Google Toolbar for a while. Removed google toolbar and things were normal again. I also took ZA free off but have since put it back and all is ok now. wooda2 (4837)
215677 2004-02-16 04:26:00 Thanks Guys,

Tried all of the suggestions (I have the google toolbar too) .

I have fixed the problem but unsure what was the cure though .

Maybe because of recent update to IE6 sp1 ???

Thanks for the help . John .

215678 2004-02-16 06:52:00 Hi Wooda2,

Seems to be the Google toolbar allright ,but it did not do this carry before I updated to IE6 sp1 browser.

Must be some kind of glitch.

Have you recently updated your browser to the sp1 version.

John.
