Guest Yankee Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion Cable does not come this far out in the suburbs where I live; so, I only have dial-up connection to the internet. I recently downloaded and installed all the Windows 98 SE critical updates. Prior to that when I was already online in Internet Explorer or Outlook Express, in Outlook Express I could select Send/Recv and send/check my mail while already online. Now when I'm already online I select Send/Recv and try to check mail or send mail my modem connection is disconnected and I have to dial-up again. I can then send/check mail; however, If I click to check mail again, it disconnects me and I have to go through the connect/dial up process again. Is there an update I need to uninstall or settings I need to change? Thanks! Yankee

Call various ISPs to find out whether they offer wireless high speed service where you live. It may be worth insisting because some ISPs do not know in detail the "footprint" of the wireless Internet signal from their cell phone towers. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

"OE, Tools menu, Options, Connections tab" "Hang up after sending & receiving" Is that unchecked as well? | Yankee -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR pcrrcp@netzero.net
