Dial-up Connection

[Don Morton]

For about the past two weeks, my dial-up connection
activates on it's own. ie: When bootup is completed, the
dial-up connection window comes up and machine attempts
to dial out. Also, upon opening Control Panel, dial-up
window comes up and it tries to dial out. When I open my
MsMoney program, it opens but then up comes the dial-up
connection window and it tries to dial out. And, each
time I cancel that, a few seconds later, it does it again.
I have to cancel it three to four times before it quits
coming up. I have deleted my dial-up connection three
times and run through the connection wizard to re-
establish the connection but that doesn't solve anything.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Don Morton

Hi Don,

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)

To view the list of names and addresses recorded by AutoDial, type the
following command at a command prompt: rasautou -s

To delete a name or address entry from the list: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Addresses

You can delete any TCP/IP addresses that you see under this key. Note that
AutoDial can use IP addresses, DNS fully qualified domain names (FQDN), and
NetBIOS names.

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