418834 2006-01-06 10:38:00 I am using Outlook Express 6 with Windows XP. I have just got broadband, but cannot get Outlook Express to use the broadband connection - it insists on trying to use the old dial up. I have ticked the box "Dial whenever a Network connection is not present" but it still tries to use the dial up...and often the selection boxes (Never dial a connection, Dial whenever etc.) are greyed out.

Internet Explorer works fine on the broadband, as do all other programmes.

Any help on getting OE6 to work gratefully received!

The account was set always to use the dial up connection - just changed it to use any available connection
