hi can someone help? i use explorer to connect to the net but when i open
outlook it disconnects and asks to reconnect, does anyone know why??
First, open Outlook Express, then follow these steps:
Note: Steps 1 through 7 will check to make sure Outlook Express is not
trying to dial another connection:
1. Click on Tools, then click Accounts
2. Click on the Mail tab
3. Highlight your account, and click the Properties button
4. Click on the Connection tab
5. Make sure the "Always connect to this account using..." box is NOT
checked, and click OK
Note: If you are using Outlook, or a version of Outlook Express older than
version 5, you will need to set the option in the Connection tab to read,
"Connect using Internet Explorer's or a 3rd party dialer."
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for any other mail accounts you have set up
in Outlook or Outlook Express
7. Once this is done, click the Close button
Note: Steps 8 through 10 will check to make sure that Outlook Express isn't
intentionally disconnecting you:
8. Now click on Tools, then click Options
9. Click on the Connection tab
10. Make sure the "Hang up after sending and receiving" box is NOT
checked, and click OK
