I recently changed my ISP, before when I closed IE the dial-up connection would be automatically disconnected. With the new ISP I have to do several steps to disconnect.

How can I automatically close the dial-up after closing IE?
 
in IE you can go to tools>internet options> connections tab> select your connection and click settings, down at the bottom you'll see "advanced" in there you will see and check box that says something like "disconnect if no longer needed". is that what you were talking about?? "Jack of all trades. Master of none."
 
Thanks for the help. I did what you advised but I still have to manually close the dial-up connection. It seems like nothing changed. I restarted Windows XP and IE 2 times to see if that was necessary.

I am sending this from "Your Reply" I hope this works.
