default drives me nuts

[japniz]

Can anyone help? Under Connections, I select 'always dial my connection...' but it always reverts to 'never dial...' and I continually have to go into the Options screen to change it back.

What have I done wrong? It's been fine until a couple of weeks ago.

Any advice would be very welcome.

Do you press the Set default button?

I can't see any other reason why this happens

Thanks, Dank. The 'set default' button is greyed out and can't be clicked. Is this usual?

No this isn't usual.

Does it have any effect if you right click the connection in Dial up networking and choose set as default

Thanks again, Dank.
When I open Dial Up Networking, a right click on AOL has no 'set as default' option. However, under the Connections tab in IE6, the connection reads 'AOL - do not delete. (Default)'

Any closer to solving the mystery?

The button is greyed out because AOL is already the deafult connection.

The only thing i can suggest is make a temp connection, set it as default, the button shouldn't be greyed, then set AOL to default again.

This will just refresh things.
