Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / June 2004Logging on to the internet via IE
Until I upgraded to OSX and this IE 5.2.3, I was able to logon to the internet directly from IE (e.g. by clicking on a Favourite). Not now! I now have to connect first, then use IE. What must I do to get back to the previous situation? Thanks. (The following advice applies to OS X 10.2 and has not been tested on other versions of OS X.) Open System Preferences from the Apple menu, and then click the Network Preferences button. Click the "PPP" tab, and then click the "PPP Options button. Check the option to "Connect automatically when needed," and click OK. In the resulting window, click the "Apply Now" button, and quit System Preferences. Internet Explorer should now try to establish a connection if you request to load a Favorite when an internet connection is not active.

If the site is not already in IE when you click the favourite button, you get the SPOD and nothing happens. So, partial success only!

I'm returning to this topic sorry! because I still can't get OS 10.3.4 running Explorer 5.2.3 to log on to a site - any site - via Explorer. Thanks to Mickey, clicking, say, a favourite will now connect me to the internet... but not to the favourite site itself, which I have to click again (meanwhile a message appears to say that the site could not be found). A previous Explorer in OS 9.2 did not have this problem - what am I doing wrong? Doesn't everyone else have this weird behaviour? Thanks.
