Internet Explorer Dial Up connection

[Joe]

Every time I open the internet Explorer it dials to
connect to my ISP. Even though I have the connection set
to "Never Dial A Connection"
It all so dials a connection when I connect my PDA to the
cradle. I have all the setting on the PDA set for no
internet function.
Is there a fix to keep it from dialing my ISP?

Jan,
I am using Window XP professional. I have all the up
dates installed SP1 and SP2. Recently the hard drive has
been re-formatted, Windows XP installed along with the up
dates from CD's, and all the software reinstalled, Office
2000 w/ all the downloaded updates for Office.
There are no error messages. If I click the Internet
Explorer icon it will open up and automatically start
dialing and connect to the internet. I have a dial up
phone connection from a small ISP. I have the
Tools/Options/Connection set to "Never Dial a
Connection". I even tryed changing the connection option,
applying it and restating the computer. But no change.

When I plug my Dell A5 PDA into its cradle, it will open
the Microsoft AtiveSync 3.7.1 and it will start to dial
and connect to the internet. There is nothing set to sync
between the PDA and the CP that need an internet
connection.

Have you also checked with your ISP and the mdg. of the PDA? They might
also be able to give you some information regarding the connection settings.

I'll have to do a bit of research now that I know what OS and such you have,
in the mean time, if you haven't done so, try contacting your ISP and PDA
folks and see what they say, other than it's an MS problem....<G>

I'll get back with you shortly. Don't rouch that dial-up! ;=)))

opens the Internet Explorer with "Page Can Not Be

in any case it does not automaticly start dialing the

And since the other user is set up in the registry with
its own settings, I think the problem is there.

Thanks For Your Help

After asking some of the experts here about this situation, I was able to
get a few suggestions you might also try. You might take a look at the site
here, as it it may be that something is trying to 'call out' in the
background and may be causing interference. There is some very good
information here that might shed some insight on what may be going on behind
the scenes on startup.

STARTUP PROGRAM LOADING
Where do things load from? How do you stop them?
http://aumha.org/a/loads.htm

or try the following and see if it helps:

If IE loads at startup, check IE Tools>Internet
Options>Advanced>Automatically check for IE updates (disabled?)

also, it might be that the User profile is corrupted somehow.

Lost or Corrupt User Profile

Create a new account/administrator profile and log in. Then go to
C:\Documents and Settings\[Previous User Profile] and copy all folders to:
C:\Documents and Settings\[New User Profile]. Then reboot.

Hi Jan,

I set up a new user account and the Internet Explorer
works fine. If I set it to not dial the connection it
won't dial it. But moving my files to the new user
account is to much work re-setting everything. Outlook
can not find files and so on.

There must be a setting in the registry that is
corrupted.
Somewhere
under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curren

I think these settings are not changing when I change the
Tools/Options/Connection set to "Never Dial a Connection".

It would be easier to change these I would think.

Well the fix below had fixed the connection
under "Tools/Options/Connection set to "Never Dial a
Connection" all the selection work "Never dial, Always
dial" so on all work. I used the fix in the registry
where I thought the problem was.

Tip: Disable the "Log on using dial-up connection" Check
Box - Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. Value Name:
RasDisable, Data Type: REG_SZ (String
Value), Value Data: (0 = restriction disabled, 1 =
restriction enabled).
Create a new String value, or modify the
existing value, called 'RasDisable' and edit the value
according to the
settings below. Exit your registry, you may
need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to
take effect.

But I still have a problem with my Dell A5 PDA. When I
connect it to the PC it wants to dial up and connect to
the internet, even though it is not synchronizing with
anything on the net.

I am having this problem with IE SP2 and anything (program or device) that
connects to the internet. Has there been a complete fix?

Snipped lots of quoting.

Exactly what is "this problem" you are having? If your computer is trying
to connect to the internet at unexpected times, you may have malware on your
system.

Before trying to remove spyware:

Back up all essential data.

Download the recommended software

After all software has been downloaded, installed and updated disconnect the
computer from the internet and/or any network to which it may be attached.

The software you should download and have ready to use is:

Lspfix and Winsockfix, available at http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm and
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html

A BHO disabler such as BHO Cop, BHO Demon or BHOCaptor (non XP SP2 users
only)
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,270,00.asp
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
http://www.webattack.com/get/bho.shtml

AdAware (note that Lavasoft have now released Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition,
available from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ AdAware 6 users
should update to SE as soon as possible. All previous versions are NO LONGER
SUPPORTED)

Spybot Search and Destroy - http://spybot.eon.net.au

HijackThis - http://209.133.47.12/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe

CWShredder - http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html

HackerDefender Disabler - http://www.aumha.org/downloads/unhackdef.zip
Extract the BAT file to your desktop.

After obtaining the required software above, make sure you check for updates
and run the programmes in safe mode.

Malware removal (beginner's guide):

Go to Control Panel, Folder Options, View Tab. Turn on the option to show
hidden files. Turn off the option to hide protected system files.
***WARNING!! Files are hidden by Windows for a very good reason. It is not
wise to 'experiment' with these files. Unfortunately, to successfully remove
modern malware we must turn this protection off. There is a risk to doing
this. Please turn the protection back on when you have finished cleaning
your system.***

Run HackerDefender Disabler. A DOS window will flash onto your screen and
then disappear. This is normal.

If you are using Windows XP SP2 download and install Update KB888240 to
solve a known problem where add-ins will sometimes hide themselves from the
Add-On Manager. The hotfix is available from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...9e-b116-4d38-b00c-ff1d529106c8&displaylang=en

Go to Control Panel, add/remove programs. Check for malware entries and use
the uninstall programs, then reboot. Check all 'startup' folders at
...\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup or
...\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Startup

Go to start/run and type MSCONFIG. Go to the startup tab. Disable everything
that you do not recognise as legitimate (do not disable any power profile
options).

Now go to the Services tab. Turn on the option to 'hide all Microsoft
Services'. Disable everything that remains. If you don't have this option,
don't worry about it.

Reboot your computer and hold down the F8 key until the boot menu options
appear. Choose Safe Mode as your startup choice. You will find information
about what safe mode is, and what it does, at this link
[http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/data/safe_mode.htm]

If you are using Windows XP, go to Tools, Manage Add-Ons and disable
anything you don't want or recognise. If you are not running XP SP2 use one
of the BHO disablers mentioned earlier.

Empty your IE cache and your other temporary file folders, eg: c:\temp,
c:\windows\temp or C:\Documents and Settings\<name>\Local Settings\Temp (the
path to your temp folder will change depending on your name) - sometimes
programmes can be hidden in there - watch out for mysterious *.exe files or
*.dll files in those folders.

Go to IE Tools, Internet Options, Temporary Internet Files {Settings
Button}, View Objects, Downloaded Program Files. Check for unrecognised
objects there.

Go to IE Tools, Internet Options, Accessibility. Make sure there is no style
sheet chosen (under User Style Sheet - format documents using my style
sheet). If the option is turned on, turn it OFF.

Start CWSHREDDER and fix anything it finds. Reboot back into safe mode.

Start AdAware.

Remember to update using the 'check for updates now' button. Update, then
select 'start' option.

Make sure that 'search for negligible risk entries' is turned on. Select
'use custom scanning options' then select 'customise'. Make sure the
following options are enabled: 'scan within archives', 'scan active
processes', 'scan registry', 'deep scan registry', 'scan my IE favorites for
banned URLs', 'scan my Hosts file'.

Select the 'tweak' option. Under 'scanning engine', make sure 'unload
recognized processes and modules during scan' is enabled. Enable 'scan
registry for all users instead of current users'.

Under 'cleaning engine' turn on 'always try to unload modules..', 'during
removal unload explorer and IE if necessary', 'let windows remove files in
use at next reboot', 'delete quarantined items after restoring'.

Use the 'select drives and folders to scan' option to ensure that your
ENTIRE hard drive is scanned (if you have more than one hard drive, scan all
of them (of course, do not include floppy and CD/DVD).

Once finished, reboot again into safe mode. Run Spybot S&D. "Fix" anything
marked red.

If you are unable to get on to the internet after cleaning up your computer,
run LSPfix. If that doesn't work, run Winsockfix.

If you are using XP SP2 and are unable to access the internet after removing
malware, the following commandline may help - it will reset the winsock
catalogue:

netsh winsock reset

If the malware problem comes back further specialised assistance is
available via the Hijackthis forum at http://forum.aumha.org - make sure you
read the top announcements about pre-post steps you should take before
generating a hijackthis log.

The problem that many of use are trying to fix is that when you set 'Never
Dial a connection' the setting defaults back to 'Dial when Network not
present'. Its clear that it can be fixed by modifying a registry setting but
we are struggling to find where in the Registry to make the change. Joe
suggested modifying
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
parameter. Is that how to fix it ??

After asking some of the experts here about this
situation, I was able to
get a few suggestions you might also try. You might
take a look at the site
here, as it it may be that something is trying to 'call
out' in the
background and may be causing interference. There is
some very good
information here that might shed some insight on what
may be going on behind
the scenes on startup.

STARTUP PROGRAM LOADING
Where do things load from? How do you stop them?
http://aumha.org/a/loads.htm

or try the following and see if it helps:

If IE loads at startup, check IE Tools>Internet
Options>Advanced>Automatically check for IE updates
(disabled?)

also, it might be that the User profile is corrupted
somehow.

Lost or Corrupt User Profile

Create a new account/administrator profile and log in.
Then go to
C:\Documents and Settings\[Previous User Profile] and
copy all folders to:
C:\Documents and Settings\[New User Profile]. Then
reboot.

The problem that many of use are trying to fix is that when you set 'Never
Dial a connection' the setting defaults back to 'Dial when Network not
present'. Its clear that it can be fixed by modifying a registry setting
but
we are struggling to find where in the Registry to make the change. Joe
suggested modifying
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
parameter. Is that how to fix it ??

Peter

I am having this problem with IE SP2 and anything (program or device)
that
connects to the internet. Has there been a complete fix?

Well the fix below had fixed the connection
under "Tools/Options/Connection set to "Never Dial a
Connection" all the selection work "Never dial, Always
dial" so on all work. I used the fix in the registry
where I thought the problem was.

Tip: Disable the "Log on using dial-up connection" Check
Box - Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. Value Name:
RasDisable, Data Type: REG_SZ (String
Value), Value Data: (0 = restriction disabled, 1 =
restriction enabled).
Create a new String value, or modify the
existing value, called 'RasDisable' and edit the value
according to the
settings below. Exit your registry, you may
need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to
take effect.

But I still have a problem with my Dell A5 PDA. When I
connect it to the PC it wants to dial up and connect to
the internet, even though it is not synchronizing with
anything on the net.

I have the exact same problem. Anxiously awaiting the
cure.

:

Hi Jan,

I set up a new user account and the Internet Explorer
works fine. If I set it to not dial the connection it
won't dial it. But moving my files to the new user
account is to much work re-setting everything.
Outlook
can not find files and so on.

There must be a setting in the registry that is
corrupted.
Somewhere

under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curren
tVersion\Internet Settings"
I think these settings are not changing when I change
the
Tools/Options/Connection set to "Never Dial a
Connection".

It would be easier to change these I would think.

Thanks for your suggestion which I have tried. I have 3 computers (two home
plus office laptop) and every time they reboot the setting is reset from
'Never Dial' to 'Dial only when no connection ... ' The systems are clean
(AdAware, Spybot, MS Spyware), Norton AV (on two of the machines) has
Autoprotect turned off. The setting remains for as long as the PC is up but
is reset on reboot. Running XP SP2 but believe SP1 was the same. Any ideas
?? I was hoping to force this in the Registry but do not know which key
controls this.

Thanks

Peter

Pedro,

As I said in my advice link, some ISP supplied connectoids insist on
specific settings, In such cases, there is nothing you can do.

The only other suggestion I have, assuming you followed *all*
troubleshooting advice for malware, is to uninstall Norton Antivirus, reboot
and couple of times and see if the problem goes away.
