dial up connection box has dissappeared

[clarky]

When I open up Internet Explorer, my dial up connection box doesn't come up.
I have to start up Outlook to connect to the net.
Anyone got any ideas?
Works ok on my daughters setting whe she logs on under her name.

Using windows 2000.

Happens with my mums computer aswell, she has to open Outlook and log on to virgin there then open IE to surf. You could maybe try looking around IE settings, maybe a cheack box to tick

that box is already ticked.

Just says no connection avalable, but when I look in the options, the settings are there.

EDIT:
Just noticed that every time I set my connection as default connection , it removes it.
When i come out of options then go back in, there is no default connection even though I had clicked on "set as default"
