Hi Anthony,

Suggestions and checkpoints:

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)

Are these likely to be files associated with RealPlayer? It calls home
at the drop of a hat.

If this situation has just started and seems fairly general, then I'd
suggest using Restore to return your registry to its condition before
the problem began.

Thank you Kelly! That fixed also fixed my wife's computer. The kids could
not even play a game without the modem dialing.

Appreciate your skill!
