Hi omega :-)

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, which really is a
must when asking for help in the newsgroups, but, try the following as it
may apply
to your OS and see if it helps

Disable Proxy Settings
Tools>Internet Options> Connections tab> LAN Settings button
Under Proxy server, make sure the box there is unchecked

Disable Automatic Proxy configuration

Lan Settings- Proxy Server - Disable

Hope this helps.

I seem to be having the same problem. I'm connected via SBC DSL just fine
but
IE doesn't show a LAN connection. When I try to access a web page I'm
given a
Dial Up window.

Any ideas how to resolve this problem?

Thanks!

For some reason, my DSL connection is no longer automatically made when
I launch IE or Outlook. I have tried all three of the options
(Never..., Dial..., Always...) on Tools/Internet Options/Connections to
get it to work, with no success.

I have SBC/Yahoo DSL using Windows XP Home Edition (Service Pack 1)

Any help would be appreciated.
