I'm having the same problem. I tried to do the fix from the faqs several times. Each time I restart, IE has changed the setting back to, "Never dial a connection". I am using MyIE2 for my browser but it sets up the same as IE does. The fix states:
In Notepad, open the file AVAST4.INI
Find the section [InetWD] If the section doesn't exist, create it. Into the following row into this section UseRAS=1 Save the file and restart your computer.
That's just how it's wrote up too. I already had the section and the UseRAS=1. There's also an entry that says: AssumeAlwaysConnected=0 I tried removing the last entry and it didn't help. I removed the "1" from the first entry and it didn't help either. I finally deleted the InetWD and both entries and that didn't help either. I'm not sure what else to try so I'll wait for a solution from someone in this forum.
Thanks
