Auto-Disconnect

[Walmsley's]

My Broadband connects automatically when I open any internet-reliant
application. With OUTLOOK2002 it offers me the option to "Hang-Up" everytime
I exit it. It doesn't do this with any other application. Is there a way to
disable auto-disconnect?

Thanks in advance.

Nik.

Specify your mail account types and the connection type you set for each.
They should be set to LAN.

I tried that. Now it won't even attempt to connect, and gives errors because
it can't find the server. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Yes. I'd suggest posting the information I requested in the first place.
Mail account types, connection types.

Tell me more about this DSL. Is it always on or do you have to dial up each
time to connect? There have been many problems with BT DSL. Apparently it
plays by its own rules. I doubt we can solve this one from here.

It dials up on demand from every other internet-rreliant application
(Internet explorer, WINMX, ICQ etc.) it's always on once it connects for the
first time, it doesn't ACTUALLY dial, it just authenticates the connection.
It's a USB DSL modem.

Thanks

Well let me ping Robert Crayk on this. He's an MVP on your side of the pond.
The last I knew there was something flakey about BT's DSL that Outlook
doesn't like.

OK. Here's what Robert Crayk the Outlook MVP in the UK recommends:
We set Outlook to use a LAN connection and then in the properties of the
dialup we set it to constantly redial, best way we tell the user is to go
into the settings of the account in IE and then "Advanced", uncheck any
disconnects and up the connect retries.

They must start the connection before they start Outlook, if they have just
turned on the machine and then start Outlook then it won't connect.
