| 147176 | 2003-05-24 11:02:00 | I am setting up Outlook on a new PC and am using XP Pro OS. When I open Outlook I do not get the connection prompt. How can I get this to come up when opening Outlook or Internet Explorer | Muzz (1286) | ||
| 147177 | 2003-05-24 11:16:00 | Open up Internet explorer, go tools>internet options>connections (a TAB) then tick "dial whenever a network connection is not present." Just checking too, you mean Outlook Express? (as microsoft also has another e-mail program called Outlook.(notice no Express)) |

| 147180 | 2003-05-24 11:36:00 | Being XP it is likely to be Outlook Express xp version You can try using the IE [Internet Explorer] preferences. If you want special preferences for OE try: Tools > accounts > Mail Tab > click account you want to change > properties > Connection > change as required. |

| 147181 | 2003-05-24 12:09:00 | They have said they are using Outlook not Outlook Express Got to Tools/accounts/View or change and click Next In Email Accounts click on Change Click on More settings near the bottom Click on Connection Tab Select - Connect using my phone line and select your ISP connection in the box underneath |

| 147182 | 2003-05-24 12:16:00 | Sorry you could be right. I have known people to confuse MS Outlook Express with MS Outlook, and to be honest I am not sure which it is [I should have highlighted solutions for both]. Not sure if the DUN connection is the one they want though. Which is desired? Oh btw what you have mentioned is for Outlook XP which is different than earlier versions [incase the person trying to change this is getting confused, although its similair to say MS Outlook 2k] |
