Why no auto dialup suddenly???
My machine running XP Home used to get dialled up to my broadband connection
as it booted up until recently. Now it only connects when I light up Outlook Express. I've searched around to try and see what has changed, but to no avail, and I cannot find what needs switching back on to revert to auto dialup. Can anyone offer any help please? Thanks Horace Marks

Broadband is always connected - DSL
Dialup is a dial tone connection which requires dialing the phone. Which do you have? -- Don Vancouver, USA "HoraceM" wrote in message ...

Why no auto dialup suddenly???
Hi Don, Not sure what I have!!! , but my machine does dial up as it goes
through its boot-up routine. However I have just seen that in the "Tools - Internet Options - Connections" page, the radio button for "never dial a connection" was lit. I have now changed that to "Always dial my default connection" and that seems to have done the trick, although I cannot figure out what caused it to change in the first place, One of the numerous auto updates perhaps, Who knows. Thanks for your help anyway. Horace Marks - UK "Don Schmidt" wrote: Broadband is always connected - DSL Dialup is a dial tone connection which requires dialing the phone.

You solved the problem, very good.
From your experience, and what MI5¾ states, I've learned something new. -- Don Vancouver, USA "HoraceM" wrote in message ...
