Connection Exists





When trying to access Outlook Express from IExplorer 5, I get the same message each time:

A dial up Net working connection is already established to  to Adams network.   And then my choices are:  Try to locate server on the current connection   or    Hang up and dial Adams.

Each time I have to check the Try to locate server on the current connection in order to avoid a disconnect and re-dial.

Under Tools/Options/Connections...Ask before switching connections is checked and it shows IE and Outlook Express share the same internet connection.

How can I get Outlook Express to quit asking if I want to re-dial or try to locate server on the current connection.

In my Outlook Express there is no Mail tab under Tools/Options.
tools, accounts
then after u click accounts, there is 4 tabs, one is mail
then highlight your account and click properties, then in the properties, switch it to LAN
sorry, i mixed it up
This should not be an accepted answer!!
What ever "sLeEpY" is trying to say just isn't there under Win95.  I have also had this problem but I also loose my connection when I open Outlook while IE5 browser is already on line.  Why and how can that be corrected.  I thought the first bad "accepted answer" may also solve the disconnect problem.
I think "sLeEpY" may be sleeping after reading  his replys.  Thanks,  Jim
