I connect to the internet via adelphia.net. Neither of the disconnect
options on the advanced tab are checked. And under the MSOE account
properties tabs, the "always connect using the ..." is not checked either.
None of the usual fixes seem to work here :(
Thanks for your attention and help,
Kelly


I figured that you connected to adelphia.net, Kelly, from your first
message:-)

How you connect? was the question.

Are you on a dial-up connection, Broadband, or LAN etc?

I am worried that some third party dialler is interfering with your
connection? Ensure that OE>Tools >Options>Connection: "Ask before switching
dial-up connections" Is checked.

Rule out any malware infection:


Get CWShredder and run it:

Review the information here:

Get Spybot S&D, and Adaware, update and run both of those too.

Also get HijackThis!, follow all the instructions to get quality help.
