Connection is dropped when using Outlook Express

[Jaime Stuardo]

Hi all....

I have a DSL Internet connection. The problem I have is that always when I
open Outlook Express to read my e-mails, connection is dropped and it shows
a dialog box where I can re-type the internet password. I check the "connect
automatically" box and in settings, I have "Never dial a connection". The
connection is dropped too when I try to send messages by mean of Outlook
Express. Note that the dropping occures always when a connection is made by
Outlook Express, that is, when I open Outlook Express it drops the line
because it connects to the mail server. In the same Outlook Express session,
when I try to send a message, the line is dropped again.

Always when that dialog box appears, the checkbox "Connect automatically"
remains unchecked, and in settings, the radio button "Never Dial a
Connection" remains selected. So I don't know why is happening this.

Any suggestion? I have windows XP Professional.

Thanks
Jaime

Check your username, password and mail server address.

Of course it is correct. The dialog box I mentioned is the dialog box of
Internet connection, not dialog box shown by Outlook Express when mail
password is incorrect.

As I said, after the Internet connection is dropped automatically by Outlook
Express, that dialog box appears. The only thing I have to do is to press Ok
button so that Internet connection connects again. You can understand that
this is a very annoying behaviour.

It is already unchecked.

This behaviour is very strange. I know that I can correct it by reinstalling
Windows XP, but maybe something in the Registry is disturbing.

Uncheck the box for "automatically detect settings", at: IE, tools, options,
Connection tab, Settings button.
