out look express

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :shock:

I am using dial up networking to connect my computer to Internet.

If I connect the system to internet first and then click on the Out Look
Express, when the Outlook tries to connect to the server (Awalnet, Saudi
Arabia) the dial up connection becomes automatically disconnected.

If I click open the Outlook Express first and then connect to internet,
there is no problem, even if I click on the send and recieve messages icon
in the Outlook.

Can anybody provide me with a solution please.

Looking forward to hear from you soon

Thats a strange problem.. could it be something like Outlook Express is trying to dial a connection automatically so it is disconnecting the current connection.. thats the only thing I could think of.

I agree with sahirh ... I've had this problem also in the past. It happens because outlook is hanging up your connection after it finishes the send/receive operation.

Take the following steps:

1. Start OE
2. Go to "Tools" menu
3. Click "Options"
4. Click the "Connection" tab
5. Remove the check box from "Hang up after sending and receiving"

now that should make it work ... let us know if u still face the problem.


Cheers,
