message pops up

[Avelino P. Arabit]

Hi,

I'm using windows xp home, one of the computers connected
to each other using windows home networking, this is the
only one using xp while the rest uses either wME of w98.

My problem is everytime I boot the system, print from
word, excel, etc. or sometimes just open up any
application a message always pop-up saying I requested
information from my ISP or sometimes from another
computer and asking me which connection to use while
listing the name of the dial-up connection I set up
(sometimes it does this even I'm practically doing
nothing. THis only occurs in the xp machine where the
modem is connected. This now pops up frequently to be
very annoying...

Is there anything in my setup that do this? I already
turned off all options that would automatically connect
me to internet - or have I???


I hope somebody could enlighten me on this.

Thanks...

Hi,

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.
