Dear helper,

My computor running XP Home always automatically dials up
the net when it is turned on. The process which is
running when it it happens is rasautou.exe I don't want
to delete it as it is apparently part of the operating
system and windows warns about possible destabilizing
effects if this is done.
How do I stop the auto dial up?

Many thanks,
Matt.
Perth, Western Australia.
 
Hi Matt,

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.
