INTERNET DIAL UP

[CINDY WOLLENSLEGEL]

FOR SOME REASON, MY COMPUTER NOW AUTOMATICALLY DIALS INTO
MY INTERNET SERVER EVEN WHEN I'M NOT REQUESTING IT TO. IF
MY COMPUTER IS LEFT ON STAND BY THEN WHEN I RETURN TO IT,
IT IS ONLINE.IT ALSO DOES IT IF I AM WORKING OFF LINE, IT
JUST AUROMATICALLY DIALS AND I HAVE TO HIT CANCEL SEVERAL
TIMES FOR IT TO FINALLY STOP. ANY SUGGESTIONS? ALSO, I'VE
ALREADY WENT OVER MY SETTINGS WITH MY INTERNET PROVIDER
AND THEY SAID IT MUST BE SOMETHING WITH A WINDOWS UPDATE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Please post in UPPER and lowercase. Thanks.

Check configuration/properties sheets for programs that require Net
access. RealAudio and Windows Update might be candidates, as are many
others. Disable the "update" or "send info to provider" options.

Look at Task manager - using <alt-ctrl-del> for possible, if cryptic,
clues on what's running.
