    Typically I check my E-mail using my dial-up connection at home.However, recently I have tried to use a wireless conection.Whenever I open Outlook Express it prompts me to connect to my dial-up connection.The thing that has me confused is the fact that Internet explorer works just fine when connected to through wireless and they share the same settings.Must be some setting that I am overlooking.If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very greatful.Thanx,Jon.:) P.S. I have tried creating a new connection in internet properties but that doesn't seem to help.

    In Outlook Express check your account settings ....

    Tools > Accounts > highlight account if more that 1 > Properties > Connections tab - select a connection from the dropdown list. More than likely it is set to always connect using the dialup connection rather than the broadband connection.
