786127 2009-06-26 22:31:00 I'm now on broadband by when I open Outlook Express I still get asked if I want to go online; the dial up messages. How do I remove these? I presume it's one of the options in Tools/internet options/connections.

Thanks

786129 2009-06-26 23:32:00 Thanks

I've looked at both options suggested in the thread
I've gone to Tools/Accounts/Properties/Connections and there was no tick in the box ""Always connect to this account using".

I've gone to Control Panel>Internet Options>Connections (tab) and found the "Never Dial A Connection" option was already selected.

It's still happening. Any other ideas?

Check under File and make sure Work Offline is not ticked.

Network Connections.
Delete the dialup connection.

786132 2009-06-27 01:22:00 I've just done this as linked by stormdragon's post. In OE under tools have a good look around and remove all trace of dial-up. Safari's post was great but dial-up also appearred in other places under tools/accounts/properties. Depends on the version most probably. mark c (247)
786133 2009-06-27 01:26:00 Done that pctek. It's got rid of one of the pop ups but the other one is still there.

When I click on send/receive in OE a small dox appears saying Dial up Connection. Select the service you wish to conect to. Three options, connect, settings and cancel.

786134 2009-06-27 02:42:00 If you deleted the diapup connection itself, then changed the default connection in OEs Accounts to LAN then it shoulkdn't. pctek (84)

786136 2009-06-27 08:00:00 Open OE, then go to Tools/Options/Connection tab and make sure there are no check marks on the Dial-up section. If there are, uncheck both of them, click apply & OK kamo1 (14583)
