Two dialup problems

[Knack]

WinXPP SP1a

After a dial-up connection is already established via the Network
Connections window, when I click OE6's Send/Receive to download new
messages it causes WinXP to break the connection and the dialup window pops
up (Why?). Then after reconnecting, OE6 fails to receive the test message
that I've sent to myself via a different computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a good while since i used OE but i seem to remember theres a setting in
the options to the effect of "hang up when message sent" check out the
option settings and see if you can find anything.

I would check the Internet Properties and check the connections tab. See if
it is set to "Always dial my default connection" and if so change it to
"Dial whenever a network connection is not present"

Yeah, I've already experimented there. I've tried each of the two settings:
-- Never dial a connection
-- Dial whenever a connection is *not* present

Yesterday I actually got the 2nd one to work after two test dialups via
Network Connections window. But then the same problem mysteriously appeared.

I find that the only dependable way to receive messages via OE6 is to *not*
initially make a connection via Network Connections. Instead just open OE6
and click Send/Receive. The result is that a different looking dialup popup
window appears than the one that comes up from within Network Connections.
