Configure connection for both LAN & Dial-up

[ffisher]

Hi,
I normally connect to the internet using my broadband account.
I also have a dial up account on the same laptop which I use when I'm
away.
In Outlook I've got email accounts set up in my send/receive group, for
both ISPs.
Connection for both email accounts is configured for LAN.
All works fine.
Problem is when I go away I want to plug in a RJ11 and use the internal
modem and connect via the dial up account.
If I choose in the connection tab 9of the email account) to use LAN and
then also select the check box "Connect using modem when Outlook is
offline", then in the Modem drop down list select the dial up
connection, what happens is that I can dial out when away but at home
when connected to the LAN, Outlook tries to connect using the dial up
account.
Can anyone tell me how to get around this problem so that all I have to
do is plug in the RJ11 when away and get a connection and when at home
just use the LAN without having to change any settings?
Thanks

Outlook is only aware of your Internet connection status when you tell it.
After you've been offline and have reconnected to your LAN, you have to tell
Outlook:
File > Uncheck "Work Offline"

Thanks, that's great. Could you tell me exactly which tab has this "File
Uncheck 'Work Offline'".
Are you saying that each time I want to use the laptop away from home I
have to change a setting in the connection tab. Could you be a little
more specific.
Thanks

Okay, thanks, the penny's dropped!
Problem was I've never understood how Outlook defines Offline whe
using Outlook non-exchange version.
