OE can't send/receive since configuring DSL to be connected all the time.

I changed the configuration of my DSL hardware from "modem" to "router"
so that I now have a connection which is connected all the time (even
before I boot XP) and now I can't send/receive email with OE. With the
hardware configurated as a modem, I could send email: a connect box
would come, I would click "connect", and off the mail would go. Now
nothing happens when I click send. If I try to force to send ("send
immediately"), a connection window comes up as before, but clicking
"connect" does nothing (the connection stalls and the mail isn't send).

This must be a configuration problem, but I'm not sure where to change
it. PS: IE ->Options->Connections lists only one connection: "Broadband
connection".

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support

to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
