Re: Net8 - Keeps Using Dial Up Adapter

I have run in to this before. This is a windows/internet explorer issue. Open Internet Explorer. Select "Internet Options" from the tool menu. Go to the "Connections" tab. Select the option "dial whenever a network connection is not present". This solved my problem.
