    connection for e-mail

    Hi, i hope someone can help!
    When i open windows mail i get a message saying 'Connecting to broadband
    connection' at the top of the box and inside the box 'WAN Miniport
    (PPPOE)...' I get this message even though i'm already connected to IE
    through a wireless connection. This PPPoE connection seems to be on a list
    in the 'connect to' option of the start panel but MY wireless network option
    states 'connected'. I hope this makes sense to someone. Help greatly
    apprechiated.

    Go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Connection.
    Either select the LAN connection or leave this box unselected, in which
    case it will use IE's connection.
