I am using Windows XP Home SP2

This morning I had a strange Dialog Box pop up on my computer screen . . .

It was a "Dial-up Connection Screen and said, "Select the service you want
to connect to."

The computer had not been turned off - I came in and moved the mouse to
awaken the unit and this Dialog Box popped up. I do not, and have never had
a dialup connection on this computer. I clicked "Cancel" and it went away. I
can't figure out where it came from or why it is just now showing up.

Do you have any ideas on this?

This seems to be a "bug" that comes up periodically on "some" XP (but
not all of them.) This "dialog" shows up sometimes when a TCP/IP
request is sent to XP.

Thanks . . . I ha already checked "Never Dial . . ." so, I guess I'll just
consider this a "bug" and close it whenever it appears. It only comes
periodically.
