| 64615 | 2002-07-23 11:40:00 | When I leave Internet Explorer, the system usually gives me the option of Disconnecting from the Internet or staying "On Line". Sometimes, however, it doesn't and, even though I am right out of Internet Explorer I am still connected to the Internet. My usual course of action is to restart the computer to disconnect. Why does this happen and is there a simple way to ensure I disconnect from the Internet when I leave Internet Explorer? I have I E v 6.00 and Windows 98 S E. |

At the bottom right of your screen in the task bar you should see a small icon - picture of 2 computers with a wire between them. Right click this and click "Disconnect" (A second way is to pull the phone jack out of the wall, wait a few seconds then plug it back in). You don't say what version of IE you are running but in v5.5 click on Tools; Internet Options; Connections; Settings; Advanced; then check the box "Disconnect when computer connection may no longer be needed" - or change the time in the box above this if you prefer. |
