If you are using a dial up connection, you are only closing Internet
Explorer by clicking on the red X. You still have to manually disconnect
from the internet. There is a way to set dial-up networking to pop up a
window that asks if you want to "disconnect now". Unfortunately it has been
so long since I have used dial-up that I do not remember where this setting
is.
I am certain that others will be able to assist you in this! (-:
