Why no auto dialup suddenly???

My machine running XP Home used to get dialled up to my broadband connection
as it booted up until recently. Now it only connects when I light up Outlook
Express. I've searched around to try and see what has changed, but to no
avail, and I cannot find what needs switching back on to revert to auto
dialup. Can anyone offer any help please?
Thanks

Generally, but not universally true. Some broadbands require the PC to
'dial up' the service although it doesn't really dial up anything - it just
appears to.
 
Hi Don, Not sure what I have!!! , but my machine does dial up as it goes
through its boot-up routine. However I have just seen that in the "Tools -
Internet Options - Connections" page, the radio button for "never dial a
connection" was lit. I have now changed that to "Always dial my default
connection" and that seems to have done the trick, although I cannot figure
out what caused it to change in the first place, One of the numerous auto
updates perhaps, Who knows. Thanks for your help anyway.
