When trying to connect to the internet, i'm starting to get "ERROR 756 connection is already being dialled"
I haven't changed any settings, and when i check what other programs are running, there arn't any!
If i disconnect the modem & reconnect, it will work ok.
Any ideas please?

Dialled? Modem?

Are you from 1987?

Who is your ISP?

Ignore this^

Edit: I actually thought this error only happened with dial up modems. Can you disconnect any dial up services in the network settings?

756 - This connection is already being dialed.

This error indicates more than one simultaneous request to make a dial-up networking connection has been made.

This can occur if you have one or more programs set up to automatically make a connection to the Internet. Check the settings for your e-mail, browser and other applications that access the Internet, disabling automatic connection as appropriate.

Yeah in Internet Exploder check under Options->Connections

You'll probably have something under "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings". Get rid of it.

OK Graham S,
i had "Tiscali Broadband (default)"
And "broadband connection"
Have deleted "broadband connection"
Lets see if that works, thanks.

Did it work? Or have you now fallen off the Internet completely and are unable to reply?
