Firefox Question

[John H]

(I couldn't find a firefox newsgroup on my newsserver)
For the life of me I can't find the (tab?/spot) where you check "dial
whenever there isn't an internet connection".
If I go to a page when off line it just says "Google.com.. can't be found"
Thanks
John

I don't believe Firefox has that option

There is no Firefox specific newsgroup. netscape.public.mozilla.browser
would probably be your best bet. I'm not sure if Firefox can do what you
want but there may be an extension available that would help.

Put these services on automatic (Control Panel > Administrative Tools >
Services) and reboot

Remote Access Connection Manager
Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
Telephony

Also check the default connection ie this registry key

DefaultInternet

at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Default

(Start > Run > Regedit)

The Firefox newsgroup is netscape.mozilla.firefox on
secnews.netscape.com [this is a secure server].

To add ,secnews.netscape.com uses port 563 and you need to allow this in
your firewall permissions
