Use Dial-up Networking AutoDial (if available)

Connects to the Internet using the Dial-Up Networking connection you specified in Control Panel/Internet. A prompt is displayed when Dimension 4 starts, asking you to log on so your time can be adjusted.

If this option is not checked, when Dimension 4 starts it tries to access the Internet without displaying the prompt to log in. If you're already logged on, Dimension 4 synchronizes your PC's time. If you're not logged on, Dimension 4 waits a few seconds and tries again. Using this method, you can put Dimension 4 in your Startup group, and your PC's time will automatically be adjusted whenever you log onto the Internet.
