A friend of mine has just upgraded a Pentium to Win 98. The computer in the
past seems to have been used as part of a home LAN setup.
When putting a dial up account onto the computer, that was OK, however in
Outlook Express, it fails to connect and keeps coming up with account
connecting through a LAN
Now I have looked everywhere including the registry but cannot find where
the little sod is hiding.
How do I make it connect through the dial up instead of the non existent LAN
connection?

TIA

Hi:
In Outlook Express\tools\accounts\select account\properties\connection
tab\remove check
in LAN Connection but don't check your telephone
connection to share the same connection with Internet Explorer. If you
check that, you'll need a separate
dial-up each time you use Outlook Express.

Saludos.
