After adding and deleting an Exchange mailbox, outlook goes offlin

[BookerW]

After adding and deleting an Exchange mailbox, outlook goes offline all the
time. I have a pop account where I tried to add an additional Exchange
account inside. I got some wierd SMTP errors and decided to remove the
Exchange accout, and the pop account, and re add the pop account. Now,
whenever I open up outlook, it is always offline. I have to manually hit
send/receive to send mail.

I have a broadband connection and all settings seem to suggest that windows
and outlook will look for my LAN connection to check for a network connection.

Any ideas
