OE6 - broadband - PC startup - 'unconnected'
I run IE8 on a XP SP2 PC. Perhaps connected therewith, perhaps not, whereas
before with OE7, on first booting the PC, the two television screens appeared in the task bar, or if not, when I clicked on OE6, it connected as instructed automatically, I now find that nothing happens connection-wise, the reason being that when I look into my network connections/dial-up, I find to my surprise it is 'unconnected,' this despite the fact my Speedtouch modem is showing its two green lights. When I right click on the connection, and click connect, I get connected, the two screen appear and away I go. I have tried various permutations with associated settings, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to stop this happening. Advice/solutions gratefully received. |

May thanks again, PA Bear. I had worked it out, eventually.
OE7 should read IE7. Used to be able to configure OE6 to connect automatically, but can't now see that facility . Ideas? "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...

Are you telling us that unchecking "Always connect using..." does NOT
resolve the problem/behavior? If so, perhaps I misunderstood you or misread your first post: Is the problem the fact that OE doesn't connect, the fact that the Network Connection icon isn't displaying, or both? You connect via DSL, yes? Do you connect directly via the (ISP-supplied?) Speedtouch modem, via a separate router (that's connected to the modem), or wirelessly (via the router or modem)? Did you recently switch from dial-up to DSL or to a new ISP? -- ~PA Bear Ahscot wrote: May thanks again, PA Bear. I had worked it out, eventually. OE7 should read IE7.

OK, then I must have misread/misunderstood...
Used to be able to configure OE6 to connect automatically, but can't now see that facility . Ideas? OE shares/uses IE's Connections settings (IE Tools | Internet Options | Connections | LAN Settings (in your case).
