| 75912 | 2002-09-02 22:32:00 | hi Gerard,you probably have downloaded something lately that is trying to get some info back to the site you downloaded it from.This can be good or bad.It mayalso be a Trojan Horse,which is also bad.You could wait and see where it dials to and find outwhat the site is and go from there,or just go into your dial up settings and delete the offending one ,or all,and start again.If you delete them all,just make sure you know your ISP's dial up number first.

| 75915 | 2002-09-02 23:39:00 | Some other things to consider. You have a chat program - such as Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, and ICQ installed that attempts to connect to the internet on startup. Click Start, Run, then type msconfig into the Open: box. Click OK In the System Configuration Utility window, click on the Startup tab. Uncheck the offending entries. Internet Explorer is configured to connect using a modem, and the following registry key is set to "Y": HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE\EnableRe moteConnect Change the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE\EnableRe moteConnect to N Do not attempt this fix unless you are familiar with Registry editing! |

| 75916 | 2002-09-03 03:59:00 | Hi, my flatmate has a similar problem, however, it is not the obvious. He has sygate firewall, and there is nothing unusual using the connection once it is obtained. Is there an app that can monitor the request for the connection so we can see what is initiating the dial up?? It IS NOT a rogue app as it does it with a clean install. It is something in windows - not auto-update as this is disabled service and all. Frustrated... G P |

| 75917 | 2002-09-03 04:04:00 | if you have ICS installed you can get that problem. ICS config is handy, you can disable the auto dail. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 75918 | 2002-09-03 04:21:00 | Yes ICS is installed - why does his PC dial up?? My PC is the host for ICS. It will sometimes do it when I already have a connection, subsequently kocking me offline. Pain in the proverbial. ICS config??? I will have a look-see. G P |

| 75920 | 2002-09-03 04:25:00 | When ICS wqas installed on a client machine, the alst option you get is "Click here to connect automatically". Re run the setup disk for ICS and Un-Check that! |
