SYMPTOMS
When you use AT&T WorldNet to connect to the Internet, Internet Explorer may start automatically.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because AT&T WorldNet starts Internet Explorer after each successful connection by default.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure AT&T WorldNet to not start Internet Explorer after each connection. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) Start the AT&T WorldNet Connection Manager. To do this, double-click the Connect To AT&T WorldNet Service icon on the desktop.
 * 2) Click Profile Properties.
 * 3) Click the "Start the Internet Software after connecting to AT&T WorldNet Service" check box to clear it, and then click OK.

After you make this change, you must manually start Internet Explorer after you connect to AT&T WorldNet.
