Thanks Chuck I deleted the reference to Proxy servers and I can now connect
immediately to Internet Explorer.
This connection is dependant on my Laptop being connected to the Internet
which is OK for me.
But when I try to open Outlook Express I then get a logon window which I
require to use. If I click it I get a fault message that my password was
rejected.
Since OE uses the same Internet connections as Internet Explorer why
wouldn't it work?
Very nearly there thanks to you.

Blair
