Greetings,
When I connect to the internet, the Background
Intelligence Transfer Service is started.
Although I'm totally up to date at WU, I don't run auto-
updates.
Should this BIT service be running?

Also, each time I connect to the internet, my internet
option connection settings are automatically changed from
my choice- "Never dial a connection" to "Dial whenever a
network connection is not present".

I tried getting info from my ISP- forget that.
Thanks.
Alcinas

Background Intelligent Transfer Service
[Uses idle network bandwidth to transfer data.
*If you have disabled "Automatic Updates" service, you won't need this service running.]
[In theory this should be a useful service, especially since it can continue an
interrupted download due to a logoff or shutdown situation. Unfortunately, it can also be
prone to trouble when the resumption occurs. See the KB article listed in Notes section.]
====
Have a look at this:
Update Available for the Background Intelligent Transfer Service
http://support.microsoft.com/default...4862#appliesto

[When a computer that is running any of the following operating systems with Internet
options set to "Always dial my default connection" is upgraded to Windows XP, the
Background Intelligent Transfer service remains in the "Connecting" state when you try to
transfer a file:
Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me)
Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft Windows 95]
=========
I have Automatic Updates disabled. I also have Background Intelligent Transfer Service
disabled with no side affects that I know of.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

If you use nothing that relies on BITS it can be disabled.
I normally have it set to manual so that it can fire up if I use
something the needs it or when WU/AU wants it, but so
that it is not automatically started.

On the connection settings change I have not clue from the
info given. It could be many things that are changing it.
Perhaps someone in the networking NG has seen this (?)
