Setting up the Outlook 2003 internet connection
When I installed Outlook 2003 there were prompts to connect automatically via
a dial-up connection. Since I use DSL, not dial-up, I opted to connect manually. That doesn't work - when I log into Outlook 2003 it keeps prompting me to connect, even though I am currently connected. When I indicate that I want to "use the current connection" it just repeats the prompt. How do I fix this? I can't download new messages because I can't get the program to connect. I was using Outlook Express before and didn't have any problem.

Setting up the Outlook 2003 internet connection
DSL equates to LAN connection in the Mail Accounts.

Setting up the Outlook 2003 internet connection
Thanks. I didn't know that. However I just did that and Outlook still isn't
connected. I closed and reopened the program several times. Would it help if I restarted the computer? I really don't know what the problem is as I had no problem using the old Outlook Express program. "DL" wrote: DSL equates to LAN connection in the Mail Accounts.
