Default tesco.net overrides default connection

Have recently installed tesco.net payg in addition to my virgin bb .Every time I open firefox or oe it tries to connect to the net, although my default connection is set to virgin net broadband. It is not a major problem just an irritation. Any help in getting this sorted would be much appreciated, Regards, Mike

I installed tesco to get an email name that virgin couldn't supply, just in case you are wondering.

Try opening: Internet Options > Connections > Check 'Never dial a connection' > Apply/OK

Sorry that didn't work.

Try this:

Open Outlook Express (if that's your email client) > Tools > Accounts > Mail > Double click the 'Tesco' account > Connection > Un-check 'Always connect using this account' > Apply/OK
