Stand-alone PC, using dialup access to an ISP, IE 5.01 as browser. No network cards configured or installed. Recently upgraded to 98SE from 95. Problem only after upgrade.
After connecting and disconnecting from the ISP once, IE will automatically launch itself after approx. 5-10min., displaying the connection window. If the new connection window is closed, IE will immediatly display another connection window. Close it the second time and the cycle continues again. This happens even when PC is idle, with no user activity or open applications. If a second, third, etc. manual connection to the ISP is attempted, IE seems to be working fine.
