Windows Mail (dual connection) question

Hi all,

I'm using WM to get my workplace emails, connected to the intranet.

But at the same time, I'm using my usb modem to connect to a mobil
broadband connection, for general surfing and accessing my other emails
I use the internet 90% of the time and 10% on intranet.



How can I set WM to only connect to LAN and ignore the usb connection?
I've already tried Tools > Accounts > Properties > Connection
checked "Always connect to...." and chosen LAN. Useless.

As soon as I "dial" the usb connection, WM jump onto the usb connectio
and fails to resolve my POP3 (of course, it's on intranet!).



Any suggestions? Or do I have to keep on disconnecting my us
connection, check mail, connect again - rinse, repeat

If both connections are live then your rinse and repeat is the only way,
with only LAN connected try setting Internet Explorer to never dial a
connection, Internet Explorer>tools>internet options>connections
tab>apply>OK.

HTH?
