Hi all,

I'm using WM to get my workplace emails, connected to the intranet.



But at the same time, I'm using my usb modem to connect to a mobile broadband connection, for general surfing and accessing my other emails. I use the internet 90% of the time and 10% on intranet.



How can I set WM to only connect to LAN and ignore the usb connection?
I've already tried Tools > Accounts > Properties > Connection > checked "Always connect to...." and chosen LAN. Useless.

As soon as I "dial" the usb connection, WM jump onto the usb connection and fails to resolve my POP3 (of course, it's on intranet!).



Any suggestions? Or do I have to keep on disconnecting my usb connection, check mail, connect again - rinse, repeat.

If both connections are live then your rinse and repeat is the only way,
with only LAN connected try setting Internet Explorer to never dial a
connection, Internet Explorer>tools>internet options>connections
tab>apply>OK.

HTH?
