Go to ControlPanel/Network Connections
From the menu at the top click on Advanced and select Dial Up Preferences.
Uncheck "Enable Autodial from Location"

75922 2002-09-03 05:02:00 I will try that Jim - I think you may have hit the nail on the head. I just looked at that menu on the XPmachine I am using at the moment, and I vaguely remember that we unticked the ask me before autodialling box at some stage, and it stopped asking and then just did it. We couldn't find the menu again to fix it. Will trythat when I get home - I think it will work.

BTW it used to connect to ports 137 and 138 using UDPP (file/print sharing). Lately it has been UDP 239.255.255.250 on 1900 (UPNP???) Oh well, will let you know the results.

Start/Connect To/Show all Connections
Right click on the connection icon and select Properties
Click on the Options Tab
Tick the box Prompt for name and password

75924 2002-09-03 05:45:00 No, I meant the autodialling prompt - don't worry, I know what I am talking about even if you don't (know what I am talking about).

Will let you know how I get on. Thanks anyway.
