on dial up
click on dial up icon ~ can hear it dial up ~ it connects confirmed by browsing the internet
but
right click on the dial up icon doesn't offer "disconnect"
also under network connection ~ the dial up modem show "disconnected"? but it's really connected.

causing a problem because it occupies the phone line until the computer is shut off.

need to get the dial up to reflect that it's connected & give the capacity to disconnect


any ideas?:thanks

Oh, I have already recreated the dialup account without any resolve ~ still same as above

1371837 2014-04-02 23:18:00 I think I used to access "disconnect" by right clicking the little "screens" that appeared on the taskbar when the connection was established. rumpty (2863)
1371838 2014-04-02 23:37:00 good idea but, no little screens either ~ although I have set it to show. NZHawk (4093)
1371839 2014-04-02 23:56:00 The communication between the ICS host and client is a network-style peer-to-peer connection without Dial-Up Networking involved. Therefore, ICS does not disconnect the dial-up connection on the ICS host.

When you quit Internet Explorer on the ICS host, it communicates to the local dial-up connection and you are prompted to disconnect from the dial-up connection.

The following registry value also verifies that the option is enabled: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Profile\"Connection Name"\EnableExitDisconnect
The value should be 01 00 00 00.

1371840 2014-04-03 00:26:00 Thank you pctek
registry is correct ~ still no capable disconnect.

when quitting IE we are not prompted to disconnect.

1371842 2014-04-04 00:29:00 It's turned to custard :(

Windows XP Pro
I put the Windows XP Pro disk in & booted to it & did a repair install
now it boots but window open stating “copy of windows must be activated with Microsoft…”
If I click on no the computer reboots
If I click yes the computer progresses to show only the desktop background nothing else, no icons….
And sits there nothing happens

any suggestions how to get past this point?
