Question: I went wireless and now Outlook Express doesn’t work. How do I fix it?

Q: I used to have dial-up, but my neighbor is allowing me to use their wireless network to access the internet. I can reach web pages, but Outlook Express isn’t getting my email. How do I fix it?

This is most likely because Outlook Express is still looking for your dial-up connection and not the wireless connection. It’s pretty easy to fix. Open up Outlook Express. Click on Tools>Options. Click the connections tab and then click on “LAN Settings” towards the bottom of the window. In the new window, make sure that the check box for “Automatically detect settings” is checked. Then just click “OK” on all of the windows. You should now be able to get your email!
