    What happens when you open Internet Explorer first and then read your mail (I assume you use outlook express)?

    Sounds like outlook disconnects your connection somehow, I think there might be a setting for it but I'm not sure where...
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

    Thanks for interest. Seems to be ok if I open Explorer first and then continue without any trouble

    In the advanced settings of your dial-up networking connectoid there's usually a checkbox "disconnect when the connection may no longer be needed" - make sure that's unchecked and it shouldn't tear down the connection.
    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't

    In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice
