Hi,

I have an XP laptop that has both a dial up and an ethernet location. When
at work I use an ethernet cable to check e-mail and connect to the internet.
When at home I use a mindspring dial up. When I am at work with my ethernet
connection, whenever I try to get onto the internet I get a message saying
that I am offline. A get a message asking me to connect or cancel. When I
connect, it does take me to the correct page. This happens all of the time.
I can connect to each page every time I get this message but is seems to
think I am in dial up mode. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Open IE, click tools, options, connections, select dial whenever a network
connection is not present.
