621028 2007-12-14 03:17:00 Hi all

am trying to get the dial up connection to automatically pop up when IE or Outlook Express are opened. Currently we have to connect first and then open up IE or OE.

I am sure I've seen/had this before but cannot seem to get it working.

Using Windows ME and IE6

Thanks

Francis

Go to the Connections tab.

Select the dial up connection you use (most likely the default) and select "Always Dial This Connection".

It should pop up straight away when you open IE or OE, or any other program that's requesting access to the net for that matter.

621030 2007-12-14 03:22:00 Click on Start, go up to Control Panel - Select Internet Options > Connections,Make sure your Dial up account is showing (Default), if not select it, and on the same box will be the words " Set Default", place a Dot (Click) in "Always Dial My Default Connection" , Apply / OK.

And now it should pop up with dial up connection when opening OE or IE.

EDITED: Snap Wratterus :D beat me by a second or two - phone rang :D
