Default 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?

Hello Ramon82!

I suggest that you REMOVE any dial up connection entries found in the Connections tab of OE.

Also please doublecheck the setting in OE to make sure it does not try to connect. In the Tools > Options > General tab, there is a box to select what type of connection. Select "Do not connect". Click OK
