Dialup window pops up

[EdSJr72]

On my laptop with Win XP, when I'm connected to a wireless broadband
connection, there are times when the dialup connection window pops up.
Sometimes, I cannot bring up the Web page because when I click cancel on
the dialup window, my browser (Firefox) believes I'm not connected. How
can I stop this from happening?

Hi Ed,

For IE, the setting can be found here: Tools/Internet
Options/Connections/Never Dial a Connection.

Added info and checkpoints:

Disable "Log on using dial-up connection" (Line 77)

Right click My Network Places/Properties/Advanced (top toolbar)/Dial-Up
Preferences/Enable Auto-Dial by Location/Uncheck all locations and check off
always ask me before auto dialing. Also, Disable autodial while I am logged
on.

In the Enable Auto-Dial By Location dialog box, select each location for
which you want the automatic dialing feature to operate. Reboot.

Disable or Enable AutoDial (Line 91)
