It's happened again!! with a fresh re-creation of the dialup connection. I
left the old (possibly faulty) one in situ... have now deleted this and will
see if any effect.

I would delete the dialup connection from Network connections, then
re-create from scratch. Sounds like it's been damaged, somehow.

p.s. Excellent background and history info!

Subject: IE6 connection setting won't stick
IE6 version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519IC (from help/about);
XP Home, SP2, all critical updates installed to date;
dial-up 56k connection via. US Robotics 56k faxmodem.
Effect started some months ago, cannot tie it in to any particular
software
installation.
At apparently irregular intervals, restart from hibernation leaves
connection settings at "never dial..." and I have to reset (in IE6
connections tab) back to "..whenever a connection is not present". This
then
appears to stick for the rest of that session, even if IE stopped &
restarted many times in session. OE6 (which fails, of course, to connect
to
the mail server if the setting has altered) likewise. Still does it if I
disconnect manually before hib instead of letting XP do it as it
hibernates.
Changing the "check for new page version" settings has no effect on the
problem.
AdAware (Lavasoft), Counterspy (Sunbelt software) and NAV - all software
versions & definitions up to date - show no "spyware", trojans, or
viruses.
HijackThis shows no unaccountable items in logfile. BHODemon shows no
unexplained items. I run eBay toolbar, but this effect started long before
I
deployed this software.
I cannot seem to solve this one! Any ideas, folks?
TIA James :-)
