Logging on

[C.F.]

When I had Win98 and clicked on my server, after
connecting my Browser would automatically open [I.E.6].
Now I have WinXP and I have to perform two functions,
server to connect and then I.E. for logging on. Is there
an option where I can connect as before with one
operation? C.F.

Just open the Internet Explorer shortcut, and it should force your dialup
connection to go active. If not, go to Internet Options, Connections and
select Always dial my default connection. If it doesn't connect
automatically, there should be a checkbox on the connection dialog for
Connect Automatically.

Do you have Dial-up or DSL?
