DOCUMENT:Q173201 07-JAN-2000 [exchange] TITLE :XCLN: Exchange Brings Up IE Dial-up Connection on Start-up PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER:Win95:5.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbusage ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange Client for Windows 95, version 5.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== You have a Microsoft Exchange profile set to connect with a dial-up networking connection. You also have another dial-up networking connection set in Microsoft Internet Explorer on the Connection tab, under Connect to the Internet as Needed (formerly Autodial). Exchange brings up the Internet Explorer connection on start-up despite being set for another dial-up connection. When Autodial is disabled, Exchange uses whatever connection is specified on the Exchange Server Service Dial-Up Networking tab. CAUSE ===== This is by design. The dial-up connection dialog box is called because of initialization of the TCP/IP protocol on the local computer. Anything that you call up that uses TCP/IP will bring up the specified connection. There is no way to adjust the LAN Adapter (LANA) order to change this. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this problem, do one of the following: - Create a separate Hardware Profile to use Autodial. You must restart the computer and start the other profile in order to use Autodial. - Disable Autodial, and create a shortcut on the desktop for the ISP connection. You will need to open this connection prior to starting Internet Explorer. - Disable Autodial before starting the Exchange dial-up session, and enable Autodial when finished.
