Vista - On Broadband But Dial-up Pop-up In WM

08-01-2009

My new laptop has Vista and I cannot receive email from my server in Windows
Mail because the dial-up pop-up automatically appears even though I have been
in tools>options>accounts>properties etc. to disable it. I have been able to
send an email without this drama so what can be done to make progress past
this annoyance?

There are two places to disable the Dial-up request.

You said that you had been to tools>options>accounts>properties, but you did
not say what you did there?
You need to go to the connections tab, and remove the checkmark from "always
connect using">apply>OK.
Now WM will use any available connection.

Secondly open Internet Explorer, (web browser) tools menu>internet
options>connections tab> select "never dial a connection">apply>OK.

That should sort it for you.
