Dial up and Outlook Express

Trying to help my Dad out. He uses BellSouth DSL, and I set him up on a Lynksis Wireless Router and everything is working fine. He can view his emails, and surf the net. When he clicks on a hyperlink in an email on Outlook Express, it took him to an AOL dial up page. Since he does not use dial up, it led me to believe his OE is set up to go to dial up, even though we've already gone through the Internet Options and chosen "never to dial up". We went in to the OE and told it as well not to dial up (since it did not try to dial up unless he was using the hyperlink on OE. Now when he clicks on the link, it does not go to dial up, but just sits there.

Any suggestions out there?

 

I did that with the computer. Everywhere I could think of that had a hint of telling the computer to dial up, I went in and removed. Like I said, when we removed all the dial up networks saved in the tools on both internet explorer and outlook express, it no longer tries to connect, but just sits there. Thanks for the response though.
