Disable annoying dialup popup?
I'm running XP Pro SP2, with a LAN and broadband router for Internet
access, but I have a modem installed and a dialup connection configured as a backup for the occasional DSL outage. I've disabled autodial, but the "Connect my isp Dialup" dialog keeps popping up at apparently random intervals while I'm using a browser, or reading mail and news. Is it possible to stop this annoying behavior, such that the dialup dialog *only* appears when I specifically request it? TIA Sunny |

Disable annoying dialup popup?
Hi,
Try run msconfig and uncheck the box for the dialup feature in the startup menu, click apply and OK then reboot. Hope it helps.

Disable the Remote Access Connection Manager in the Control Panel Administrative Tools Services. This will also make the Dial-up entries to go away from the Network Connections window. To use them later, re-enable the service and start it manually. -- (tm) |

Disable annoying dialup popup?
Hi,
Furthermore, if you can't find any application in the startup tab to stop the dialing popup, you can go to device manager and then disable the modem.

Control Panel Internet Options Connections check Never dial a
connection. Make sure you select OK to save and exit. Unless you have an application that changes the option, this should put your dial-up access on a demand only basis. jimbo |
