Jong wireless network question

Calling all nerds.

I have a wireless network set up and it works fine. Only issue is on occasion my browser prompts for another network connection to be connected. At first I thought it was just a broadband connection I set for my Father's house but when I deleted that (which I really didn't want to) it started prompting to the dial connection I sometimes use on the road. The wireless connection gives me no option to set it as default

I use Mozilla Firefox and it's not too bad but occasionally something will run better on explorer and when I try to use that I can't get past the prompt. Explorer is able to find my home page and a virus scan I run from there but as soon as I try something else it just goes to the connection prompt. My only choice then is connect or work offlline.

Am I stupid, is my computer stupid, is the browser stupid are we all fuckin' retards? Please help oh wise nerds.

There are some options under tools > internet options > connections. It seems like you might want to choose "dial whenver a network connection is not present."

At least this is what I see in the version of IE I have loaded on this box. It's IE 6.0

Thanks for that. I already found that and it seems to have fixed explorer. I don't seem to have that option with the mozilla. Oh well mozilla was less of a problem, just an occassional annoyance.
