Netscape 4.77 & more than 1 dialup

OK, my mom uses Netscape 4.77 with Windows XP. She used to have only one dialup connection on the computer, and Netscape defaulted to it and auto-dialed correctly for a while. However, my dad added a second one recently. Now, even though he didn't use Netscape since adding the second one, Netscape has taken Dialup 2 as the default all of a sudden, which is bad for several reasons. Anyway, if I delete the Dialup 2 connection, then Netscape just gives the "cannot find this website" box for each site, and will not try to auto-dial like it used to. Furthermore, even though Dialup 1 (the correct connection) is set in the "Internet Options" part of the control panel, Netscape ignores this, and either tries to dial Dialup 2 or doesn't try to dial at all. I have searched all the menus in NS and I cannot find an option to set the Netscape-specific dialup connection to be used. It ***HAS*** to auto-dial, because it is my mom's computer and she is only semi-computer literate. I know its possible, but it is (evidently) not easily/supposed to be done.

Thanks in advance... I need some replies by tomorrow PM if possible.
