Automatically dial up to internet when clicking on Browser?

[eSDee]

I am trying to configure a users computer to dial up to the internet after she clicks on her Netscape mail icon(I know Netscape sux) but I can't figure out which setting it is. I have the Dial-up networking as my default network connection. It is on Windows XP. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

i think you can get it to work by configuring windows to always dial my default connection on the connections tab of internet options. this will make the computer dial out every time it trys to access the web though which might not be what this user wants. i dont know of any option in netscape which will do this.

Got this from Google:


Enable autodial in NT/XP...

On Windows 95/98/ME, wetting the connection in Internet Explorer (or
from the Internet Icon of the Control Panel) causes a connection when a
program attempts to connect to the Internet. In Windows 2000/NT/XP,
those settings only apply to IE/Outlook etc.(windows programs). Re-set
that to 'Never dial a connection'. Then:

Start|Settings|Control Panel
Double Click 'Administrative Tools'
Double Click 'Services'
Double Click 'Remote Access Auto Connection Manager'
In the Startup type: pull down menu, select 'Automatic'
Click the Start button.

Start|Settings|Network and Dial-up Connections
Ensure that there is a dialer or create one if there isn't
Select the Dialer
Click the 'Advanced' pull down menu
Select 'Dial-up Preferences...'
Under the Autodial Tab, enable the 'Enable autodial by location' checkbox

[optionally]...
Start|Settings|Network and Dial-Up Connections
Click the 'Advanced' pull down menu
Select 'Advanced Settings...'
Under the Adapters and Bindings tab, in the Connections: window, choose
the order for DNS to use (LAN or dialup adapter)

Also...
Generally, if a connection can be established on the LAN, the system
does not try to establish a dial up connection.

From the dial up window, choose the Advanced pull down menu, then
select Advanced settings. From there you can select the order of
connections to try. Setting dial up first should allow connection by
dialup.
