Dial up connection ?

[Richard M Balling]

Now that I've upgraded to IE 6. Whenever I reboot my computer I get the blasted dial up connection prompt first thing.

I don't necessarily always want to go online every-time I turn my computer on. (usually do but, you know) So I need to click cancel to proceed.

How do I adjust this back to the way it was?

yeah I know, get highspeed lol, but for now...

Thanks in advance
Richard

when you go tools-internet options and click on the connections tab, does it say dial whenever a network connection is not present?

[Richard M Balling]

Nope it says...

Always dial my default connection

are there any programs in your start up that might be trying to access the internet?

[Richard M Balling]

Yes there is one program (internet call waiting program that detects calls) However this was set up exactly the same prior to the upgrade.

Anyway I just changed things to "never dial a connection" on the connections tab, then put a dialup connection icon on my desktop.

It now works the way I want it but still doesn't identify the problem that caused this in the first place.

The settings in msconfig are the same as before the upgrade too.



thanks anyways
Richard
