Hello Jim.
Thanks for your response. Just an update: On my home computer i have Outlook
express, IE 7 and PC Cillin (anti-virus), on my work computer i have Outlook
express, IE 7 and Norton. I can cnnect to the internet using IE 7 on both
machines. When i try to send/receive on my work computer - no problems. When
i try send/recieve on my home computer, it doesn't recognise any connection
other than a dial-up connectin irrespective of the settings in Outlook
express or IE 7. I think the difference is the anti-virus. I will contact
Trend and see if this makes sense to them.
Later
Tim

Look in Tools/Options/Connections on Outlook Express menu and make sure that
Internet Explorer and Outlook Express share identical setups. Then test if
your Bluetooth setup works. That of course assumes you understand how to
"pair" a Bluetooth connection and that your setup is correct for which you
would get better help in a networking newsgroup rather than one for Outlook
Express. Your question really relates to a problem with your networking
connection.

When i connect to the internet with my bluetooth dongle through my phone,
i
am unable to connect through outlook express. I can access the internet
using
IE and download e-mail using Thunderbird. Is there any way to get express
to
recognise the active connection which is the bluetooth connection?
Thanks
