(1005 messages posted) you could try going to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab , and select "Never dial a connection" . hit Apply. according to windows, this "Specifies that Internet Explorer not automatically dial a connection for you when you need to connect to the Internet. You must first manually start your dial-up connection and then connect to the Internet." good luck.
