Since this afternoon my modem has been constantly sending and receiving.
I have run AVG, SpyBot and Ad aware with no problems being picked up.
I am running XP Pro on a Pentium 4
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Just hope that it's dialing your internet connection and not long
distance.
Here's a saved response from MVP Kelly Theriot to the same question.
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.
