Connect Automatically

[John Barnett - MVP]

Go to Control Panel and click on the Internet Options
Icon. In the internet options window click on
the 'connections' tab. I suspect the 'always dial my
default connection' option is enabled. Change this by
clicking on the 'never dial a connection' option. Next
click the Apply button followed by OK to exit. With this
option set you will only be able to connect to the
internet by manually clicking on Start/Connect to/your
isp (where 'your isp' is the name you have given to your
isp connection. This will then bring the dial up window.


Hope this helps
