Dial up Win 2K

[Al Pollock]

Hello all , can any one answer this simple question , recently my system changed on it's own (maybe) from manual dial up to auto dial up . I have looked all over but can't seem to find how to change it back . I did find the auto dial in the registry ,set for 01 00 00 00 , but no matter where I set the bit it still auto dial's ????
I prefer the manual since I have three numers I dial in two..for my ISP

Thanks all

Internet explorer>tools>internet options>the connections tab

What exactly are you doing when you get that message? Opening internet explorer or selecting your connection icon?

[Al Pollock]

Opening internet Explorer.

Select your connection icon double click it and click on connect . It should then dial the connection and then open internet explorer .you can make seperate connection icons for each number you want to choose from.

I owe ,I owe so off to work I go

I have done that but that only forces me to select the particular phone number icon and then I have to click on Internet.
What the problem is that I'm trying to correct is that little box
when you click on the the internet E. is it has a box that is checked that says automatic connection .....I never checked the box it just was thier one day and I'm running a firewall and antivirus. I had some funcky number's appear in my connection's that I didn't put thier some how I think some one some how got past the firewall etc. and screwed up files.
