OE6 problem with dialup connection

OE6 problem with dialup connection

Hi all

I have a rather strange problem with OE6 on a WINXP machine. I recently was using a dailup connection and therefore had a connection created in network connections. But now I have changed to ADSL which uses only the local area connection and therefore does not need any dialing up. Now my problem is that whenever I open OE6 it asks me to dial the dialup connection....and to make it more confusing I had deleted the dial up connection!!! so I cant understand what is wrong...

I also chose Never dial a connection in IE and made sure OE6 does not invoke a dialup connection but still ...amazingly (or magically?) the dial up connection is reappearing...

Can anyone advise what the problem might be and any other workarounds?

I'm assuming that you mean IE 6? What is your system information (ie make/model, operating system)? Let me get this straight from the connections tab you have it set to never dial a connection? Does dial up show up in the dial up and virtual private network settings? If so can you remove it? Try to click on LAN Settings and check to automatically detect settings. Now ok and ok. Another thing you can try is to go into device manager and disable the dial up modem.
