I no longer get the "hang-up" dialogue box when I exit IE

[Dee]

I am using Windows XP with a dial-up modem for internet access. For
the longest time, when I exit the Internet Explorer, a dialogue box
would pop up asking me if I want to disconnect. Then all of a sudden
(I have not changed any IE Connection options), the dialogue box
stopped and now I have to manually right click on the little
connection status icon next to the clock to disconnect. Does anyone
know how to restore the disconnect dialogue box?

Next question: I got a new computer (also running Windows XP) and I
want to access the internet using the same AT&T account as my old
computer. I remember when I set up the old computer, there was an
option to call up AT&T and have it set-up my dial-up account
information automatically on the computer. Does anyone know how/where
I can get to this "wizard"? All I can find are wizards to set up new
accounts with AT&T, but nothing that allows me to say: "I already have
an account, just download and set up the user info".

Thanks.

You can set your existing connection up on the new computer. You just need
to know the phone number you have to dial and your username and password for
the existing account. All this info will be on your pc which already uses
this account. Once you know this info, go to CONTROL PANEL - NETWORK AND
INTERNET CONNECTIONS-SET UP OR CHANGE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. Click the
ADD button and work your way through the wizard.

Thanks for the post. Yes, I know how to do it manually. The problem
is that both the account name and the password are very long string of
random characters. I remember when I set up my current (i.e., old)
computer, there was a way to dial up AT&T and it would transfer all
the information to the new computer to save me the problem of having
to type in those long strings. But when I got my new new computer, I
can't seem to find the same "transfer account wizard".

Oh OK sorry about that.
