In Outlook or Express go to Tools/Options/Connections and then uncheck the box for hangup after sending and receiving.

Thanks again for your time
I think when I clicked reply to confirm a news letter from pc.com
and hit send was the first time I noticed it. I checked with my isp
and he wanted me to bring it in but I don't think theres much
wrong. He really was'nt much help. Maybe this info might help
I get this from zone alarm. The firewall has blocked internet access to your computer[route]
from 63.86.195.254 and also 63.86.195.3  In zalarm I got all green
checks for outlookex and internet ex. spidertom
