Arthur has already provided details of how to do this[1], so I'm just going to waffle a bit about what's actually going on. [1] if Arthur's instructions don't cover your problem, I'll repeat his suggestion: go back through the history of this group, this issue has been discussed several times in the last month or so. This isn't something you configure via Mozilla, it's something you configure via windows. When you configure this stuff in IE, because of its "Integration with the OS", you're actually changing your windows config. IE/OE also make use of a few nice little backdoors, some of which can be a PITA, e.g. : fire up IE. It connects you to the net. Launch another app that also uses the internet. close IE. "do you want to disconnect", even though the other app is STILL USING THE CONNECTION. Charming. </rant> -- gav
