OE6 problem with dialup connection

Hi all

I have a rather strange problem with OE6 on a WINXP machine. I recently was
using a dailup connection and therefore had a connection created in network
connections. But now I have changed to ADSL which uses only the local area
connection and therefore does not need any dialing up. Now my problem is
that whenever I open OE6 it asks me to dial the dialup connection....and to
make it more confusing I had deleted the dial up connection!!! so I cant
understand what is wrong...

I also chose Never dial a connection in IE and made sure OE6 does not invoke
a dialup connection but still ...amazingly (or magically?) the dial up
connection is reappearing...

Can anyone advise what the problem might be and any other workarounds?

You can try with this support article : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/277983/

Disable the Outlook Express dialing options. To do this:
  1. Start Outlook Express.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
  3. Click your Internet e-mail account, and then click Properties.
  4. On the Connection tab, click to clear the Always connect to this account using check box, and then click Apply.
  5. Click OK to close the Account Properties dialog box, and then click Close to close the Internet Accounts dialog box.
  6. Exit Outlook Express.
