Dial-up Networking taking charge over LAN connection?

[Guest]

My main internet connection is via LAN to a router. Recently I've been trying
to test out my new cell phone's capabilities by using it as a bluetooth modem
to set up a dial-up connection. When I do so, the dial-up connection seems to
take priority over the LAN connection. Whenever I start up IE, it prompts me
to start the dialup connection or go offline, even though my LAN connection
is still active. I can't find any way to stay online with IE short of
deleting all of my dial-up connection setups. That works for IE, but even
then my GMail notifier and an online game I play refuse to try to connect to
their respective servers.

How can I get my machine to just use the LAN connection and ignore the
others if they're not connected?

Go into the Settings of IE,..to the Connections Tab.
Set IE to "Never Dial a Connection".

Huh... coulda sworn I tried that. But I tried harder this time and it
worked.

Thanks!
