Outlook Disconnects after background send/receive

[Ron Aris]

We are using Windows Vista Business with Microsoft Office 2007. There is one
PC at a remote warehouse that does not have access to our corporate network,
but uses a dial-up connection to check email and browse the web.

My problem centers around Outlook 2007 and its dial up connection. Whenever
it does a background send/receive, it automatically disconnects. I've looked
at all the settings in Outlook and have not been able to get it stay
connected. There is a setting in Tools/Options/ on the mail setup tab; that
is a check box that says "Hang up when finished with a manual Send/Receive".
I've unchecked that box, but I can't get the background send/receive task to
leave the connection open.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be most grateful !!!

Ron

I have the same problem with a Dell Latitude XT laptop running Vista Business
and Outlook 2007. However, the dial-up connection in my case is a Verizon
Wireless card. I have noticed that the broadband will stay connected for long
periods of time unless I open Outlook which does a send/receive.
