794525 2009-07-23 10:39:00 Does anyone know how to stop Firefox from popping up dial-up connection boxes every few minutes? sammo450 (13626)
794526 2009-07-23 10:51:00 Are you on dialup? Speedy Gonzales (78)
794527 2009-07-23 10:52:00 Firefox is a browser. If you are using this and it works then you are connected to the Internet and there should be no dial up connection established. Are you using a dialup connection to the internet?

ISP?

An Email connection running in the background may cause this as well. Dropping out every 20 minutes as some can try to dial then hang up.

More info needed by me anyway.

794528 2009-07-23 11:05:00 OK here's what's going on: none of my modems work in my PC, so I'm connecting to the internet with another PC through an 802.11g router. Yes, it is dial up. Clearnet, but it's not dropping out. Firefox just keeps throwing boxes at me. sammo450 (13626)
794529 2009-07-23 11:08:00 hmm so why are you using a router if youre on dialup then? You wont get on the net, using both at once (from the same PC) Speedy Gonzales (78)
794530 2009-07-23 11:16:00 I am using the router because the PC with the modem hasn't got WiFi, so it plugs into a port, and my PC WiFis onto the network. I then ran the network setup wizard on modem PC to make it able to share its internet. sammo450 (13626)
794531 2009-07-23 11:36:00 But if you normally connect to the net via dial up then change to a router then your computer is at fault.

Have a look at control panel and look at internet connections. What is the default?

Looks like you need to set up the network properly.

794532 2009-07-23 11:41:00 Ah I just went in there and deleted all the existing connections, hopefully that fixed it thanks. sammo450 (13626)
794533 2009-07-23 12:26:00 One presumes you made a new connection then. Sweep (90)
794534 2009-07-24 00:38:00 No, just got rid of all the connections. sammo450 (13626)
