hey, if ya want a thousand points, i need to be spoon fed the answer. i can look up help myself...if you are too busy, i understand. me, too. btw, having my dial up set to automatically dial and as the default does not see to be doing the trick on this customers XP box...thanks for your time

Click Start->Settings->Control Panel
Double-click the Connections tab
Click the Radio button besides the Dial whenever a network connection is not present option
click OK

please accept humble apologies for 1) ill-thought out comment and 2) not providing enuf information. I will take another swing at writing up this question tomorrow...

Typically if you go into ie\tools\connection\ or control panel to internet options and select your default dialer to always dial my default connection it will dial the default connection when you click on netscape icon. It works both ways whether you click ie or netscape. Netscape didnt include this setting in their preferences and relies on the os to bind the dialer. If all else fails create a dialer and put short cut on desktop. ( I prefer this method to determine if browser problem or dialerissue, easier to troubleshoot)

The problem with 7.01, is that it connects before it loads the browser, or at least it does on this PC.
There is something that went wrong in the initial setup of 7.01.
A reload may be the quickest solution, if you have the setup file on the hard disk.
I still run 4.71 and 7.01 alternatly, because I prefer some features of 4.71 for some sites.
Will investigate further, if I have time.
Regards, Chris
