I have two PCs connected to a DSL line through a NetGear
wireless router. The two PCs are using a wired connection
to the router and I occasionally have a laptop connected
via a wireless connection. One PC is running XP
Professional and the other PC is running XP Home Edition.
I have recently experienced a problem where clicking on a
web page will result in the MSN Dialup Connection dialog
box popping up asking me if I wish to connect to the
Internet...even though I am already connected via the DSL
line. I can close the dialog box and the web page will
load correctly, but the pop up is annoying. Any ideas
what I can do to get rid of the dialup connection box for
good.

Regards,
Rick Longbrake

In Internet Options under the Connections tab, remove any dialup
connections showing that you don't use. If you occasionally do use the
dialup connection (if there is one in there), mark it to "Never dial a
connection". Also make sure all computers are 100% spyware and
virus-free.
