Dial-Up Connections Box Keeps Popping up after SP2 installed!! HELP!

[Knighthawke]

I am having a problem I can't seem to find the correct solution to
(and I work for IBM even *sigh*)

I recently installed SP2 for Windows XP and ever since I often get the
Diap-Up Connections Box popping up on me and I can't permanently stop
it! I have a cable modem so I am always connected......but it STILL
pops up to ask me to dial a connection!

Now I have tried the following:

1) in IE Gone to TOOLS and CONNECTIONS and set it to "NEVER DIAL a
CONNECTION". Well that choice NEVER stays permanent whatever I do!
It always reverts back to "Dial whenever a network connection is not
present"! I always have to change it.

2) Under Network conenctions went to ADVANCED and Dial Uppreferences
and selected "Diasble autodial while I am logged on". Now at least
THAT stays as I select it.


What am I missing to fix my problem and the problem in #1?

Thanks!
Paul

Knighthawke,
In, Control Panel> Internet Options> Connection tab> Dial-up and VPN =
settings. Do you have a Dial-up connection listed there? If you do and =
always are connected to broadband. Try deleting that setting, I don't =
think that you need it any more.
