IE4 forgets!
Using IE4 & Dialup Networking. In IE4, View, Internet Options, connection --- The connect to LAN radio button is always selected after boot-up... I set it to connect by modem and point to dialup networking icon that dials my ISP. Shut both down, IE4 and close Dialup network... Now if I double click the IE4 Icon on the desktop, first it dials ISP then connect to my home page. This will work time after time so long as I dont shut down the system. When I do that I have to re-do the internet options thing again. This was working fine for weeks. I dont know what happened that made it reset itself over a restart but I cant figure out how to fix it! Help ???
Has your system been shuting down completely?
ASKER
Yes, no problems whatsoever????
Do you have Client for Microsoft Networks installed? If not install it...
Control Panel/Network/

Do you have an ethernetcard installed using TCP/IP?
ASKER
I don't think I have an ethernetcard mostly cause I don't know what one is!
Masseym:
Yup, "Client for Microsoft Networks" is still there... Notice that this just stopped working "out of the blue". I didn't install anything, my system didn't crash, nothing?!?!?
Another interesting thing, now that I think of it. When I IPL, boot up, it's been asking me for a ID and password. It never used to do that either??? I just put in an ID (no password) and it finishes comming up OK.

As is shown by subsequent discussion this is not the case...
Sounds like some registry problem I would try SP1

Did you try IE 4 with SP1 download and install it. Good luck.
