Can someone please tell me what's going on. I have two machines connected
with a switch, both running Windows XP Home. File and print sharing work
fine. Each machine access the Internet using dial-up independently without
ICS. Periodically one machine will automatically dial up and connect to my
ISP. I cannot figure out what is invoking the dial-up. I do not know of any
programs that are trying to access the Internet. Is there a way to determine
which program is doing this? Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help.
 
Your firewall may tell you which program is doing this. Oops! You don't have
one? You had better install something like ZoneAlarm, a firewall that
watches your incoming and outgoing net traffic and can prevent occurrences
like that from happening!
