I posted the solution to this recently, maybe that is the discussion you were thinking of? The problem is that IE, being part of the OS, uses a different mechanism to trigger auto-dial, Moz needs RAS Auto switching on. OK, this is what you need to do on W2K, should be the same in XP: Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services Find "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager", right click and click Start. Also, right click->Properties and change the Startup Type to Automatic so that it starts when Windows starts in future. Note that it won't throw up a Stay Connected/Disconnect Now dialogue when you exit. HTH Regards, Parish. > This is a known bug.
