Laptop Users and Dial-up Connections

Laptop users who normally connect to the CMS using a dial-up connection may be prompted for their dial-up connection details if they subsequently connect to the CMS over a LAN. To prevent the Dial-up Connection dialog from appearing, laptop users must edit the dial‑up settings in their Internet Explorer properties. To do this, they must:

1. Open Internet Options in the Control Panel.
2. Go to the Connections tab.
3. In the Dial-up Settings list, choose ‘Dial whenever a network connection is present’.
