143841 2003-05-13 11:48:00 If I go from here to O/E my connection will break.In internet properties and connections I switch on always dial up and it switches to never dial up,could someone tell me what to do,please. Thomas (1820)
143842 2003-05-13 12:03:00 Hi Thomas,
It could be just as simple as putting a dot in the always dial up & then clicking 'Apply', rather than 'OK'.

143843 2003-05-13 19:31:00 It is possible a third party programme is resetting your dial up connection. Do a complete inventory of anything that is internet related or which may require a connection and disable all.

Also download AdAware. and run it over your system - see if there is any spyware that may be wanting to dial home.

Outlook Express > Tools > Options
Put a tick in "Ask before Switching Dialup Connections"
Click OK

Also, go into the Control Panel and click Dial-up Networking in "Windows9x/ME" or "Network Connections" in WinXP
Right-Click on your internet connection and click "Make Default Connection" or something along the lines of that

See if that fixes it

143846 2003-05-13 22:37:00 What does it mean when one goes to Internet Properties then connections,only to find it greyed out? Thomas (1820)
143847 2003-05-13 23:43:00 Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I always understood that OK and Apply both applied any changes, with the difference being that OK closes the window, while Apply leaves the window open for further changes to be made.

Cheers

143849 2003-05-14 07:08:00 Sorry about Jim,I understood that the term was used when the place one ticked was the same colour as the rest of the box and will not accept ticks,if you know what I mean. Thomas (1820)
143850 2003-05-14 08:58:00 Does the connection "breal" before or after the mail send/receive has completed.

If it is after, go Tools --> Option --> Connection and untick Hang Up after Sending and Receiving.
