Trouble Sending Mail

I'm unable to send mail from Windows, I get a Dial Up Connection Box, but I
use DSL. There are no options in the drop-down box for "Connect To". Please
assist if possible.
 
In Windows Mail, go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties,
Connection tab, and make sure the settings there are grayed out, indicating
that IE's settings will be used.

When you open Internet Explorer, does it try to dial? If so, go to either
Internet Explorer/Tools/Internet Options or Control Panel/Internet Options.
Click on the Connections tab. Make sure "Never dial a connection" is
ticked. In fact, all the dial-up settings should be grayed out, indicating
that Vista recognizes the presence of an Internet connection via the LAN.

I am having trouble getting rid of the dial up connection" It is
preventingmefrom connecting to Windows mail.
 
My suggestion was written for vncee's specific problem.
Since I have not seen a detailed problem statement from you,
I can't very well give you a custom solution.

Select the account and click Properties.
On the Connection tab uncheck the box to Always use this connection.
Do this for all accounts.
