I have a laptop that connects to the internet via lan or dial-up.
It all "works"; however, when I connect via the lan (successfully), IE 6
(and Outlook Express) keep trying to connect the dial-up account.

All of my accounts have "never dial a connection" checked, but that doesn't
matter.

The system still works, but it is a bother. (This problem did not exist on
SP1) and it does not exist with alternate browsers.

Any help will be appreciated.

leave this unchecked)

Does this setting need to be changed every time I switch between lan and
dial-up?

It didn't have to be prior to SP2.

by-the-by, thanks for your earlier response
