I have WIN 7 32-bit with IE 8. Most times , when attempting to access the WEB, even although I have a broadband connection, my laptop attempts a Dial-Up connection.

This is associated with the "Work Offline" option on the File menu becoming ticked.

This does not happen with Firefox.

How can I rectify this?

Have you considered upgrading to IE9?

Failing that, go to Internet Options>Advanced Tab>Reset Internet Explorer Settings>Apply>OK and restart your computer.

You're very welcome.

It was the right thing to do really as IE 9 is more secure than IE8.

This is the only way to stop it permanently from trying to dial-out. :geek:

Select never dial, click apply and then OK. Your done.
