Hi Joe, Well what you need to do to avoid this, is, go to Tools | Accounts | select one account after the other (if you have more that one) and click on properties. Now, you will see a new window. Select the "Connection" tab and select the radio button corresponding to "Connect using Internet Explorer's or a third part dialer" And you will never get disconnected again, because of Outlook. HOPEFULLY!!!!!!!!!!
