OE6 problem with dialup connection

Hi all

I have a rather strange problem with OE6 on a WINXP machine. I recently was using a dailup connection and therefore had a connection created in network connections. But now I have changed to ADSL which uses only the local area connection and therefore does not need any dialing up. Now my problem is that whenever I open OE6 it asks me to dial the dialup connection....and to make it more confusing I had deleted the dial up connection!!! so I cant understand what is wrong...

I also chose Never dial a connection in IE and made sure OE6 does not invoke a dialup connection but still ...amazingly (or magically?) the dial up connection is reappearing...

Can anyone advise what the problem might be and any other workarounds?

You write that you've deleted the old dial-up connection. Presumably that's from the Internet Connections option in Control Panel. But have you also checked Internet Options from Control Panel? Open it & go to Connections, then delete the old dial-up connection in the main pane (if it's still there) & make sure Never Dial a Connection is also checked.
