Re: Dissconnection

No, I am not a Microsoft representative.
I explained all this in my first post. Outlook manages phone line
connections (which means it will disconnect it after an automatic poll so
you don't stay online and incur extra connection charges).
Outlook will not manage a LAN connection (which is always online and thus
requires no management). The LAN setting has nothing to do with your actual
connection capability. If you do not have a LAN and have only a dial up
connection, the LAN setting will revert to your dial up connection once it
finds no active LAN connection.
