When I start up IE 6.0, It should bring up the dial-up connection box, but it
does not. It has the spinning world icon running, but will not connect. In
the option box, connection tab, it is check for "always dial my default
connection" The connection does work because you can dial up the connection
before and it will work. I do not know what is set incorrect?

I have no spinning globe in MSIE, just an MSFT Windows logo.

Are the LAN settings correct? I don't know if they would override a dial-up
connection; I expect that all three of the checkboxes should be clear.

What version of Windows are you using? Include that information when
you post in

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...er.ie6.browser

You can also get to the Internet Explorer newsgroups via this web site:

There select Internet Explorer

You posted in the newsgroup for help with the Outlook Express that comes
with IE6.

What is your ISP? Does it use it's own Portal or browser software to initiate an internet connection, such as AOL, Netzero, Juno, etc...

1. There may be a setting in these ISP browsers/portals to link it with IE.
2. It might be necessary to install the ISP's software to make the connection. You may not be able to set up the DUN connection manually.
