[HLUG] Thunderbird and Dial Up

[Chris Owens]

Hi everyone

    Have started to get my other half ready for Linux by introducing her 
to Firefox and Thundbird but still under Windows 2000 for the present.

    If her machine is connected to the ISP then Thunderbird can be 
started by clicking the Taskbar Icon - hey presto. If the machine is not 
connected clicking the icon gives the following error message:
Error 623: The system could not find the phone book entry for this 
connection.
whereas on my machine clicking Thunderbird fires it up whether the ISP 
is connected or not.

Thunderbird Help implies this is a Registry problem but I want to make 
sure there isn't a menu somewhere where I can give Thunderbird the dial 
up instruction it seems to be looking for. I don't really fancy fiddling 
with the Registry but if I have to is CCleaner a reasonable free-ware tool?

Sorry to have missed the last meeting, notice just too short. When and 
where is the next one?
