Greetings all,

When (under Tools / Internet Options / Connections) I chose 'Dial whenever a
network connection is not present' and (whilst not connected) I launch IE5.5
SP2 - I do not NOT the immediately get the 'Dial-up connection' window.

The 'Dial-up connection' window DOES appear automatically if I had chosen
'Always dial my default connection' and it does appear automatically if,
using OE, I try to send or receive news - without first going online.

After setting 'Always dial my default connection', when I close down and
then restart my PC the connection setting defaults to 'Dial whenever a
network connection is not present'. Can the registry be edited to stop this
resetting? If so how?

Any other thoughts on what could be causing this behaviour?
