I have IE set to connect through ADSL - everything here is ok. However, I still have some email that I need to pick up through a dial-up, when I dial up IE suddenley decides to use this instead of ADSL. If I disconnect the dial up IE loses the page, when I refresh it returns - I assume via ADSL. I have the connections in IE to "never dial a connection", and nothing is ticked in the LAN settings.

Any Ideas?

cheers,

Check in Outlook / Outlook Express. You'll probably find that one or more accounts is set to "Always connect using" a particular connection. Changing this to use any available connection should cure it.

If the emails are from different service providers, you may experience problems sending mail on one account when connected via a different ISP. The suggestion I made here may work for you.

When your dial-up connects it gets a new default route for IP traffic and any traffic is then sent over this link instead of the previous route via the ADSL. You disconnect and the new route is erased and the old one is used again.
