XCLN: Exchange Brings Up IE Dial-up Connection on Start-up

• 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.
