Question about 'Use Dial-Up Networking over a LAN'

I seem to be missing something.  I have a simple home network via a crossover cable. 
 My wife's computer is set-up as the gateway.  Getting access and sharing each other's 
hard disk files works just fine.

I have set her connection to share and to let others control connections.  The problem 
is when my computer is turned on, the connection is activated ... even though we 
did not want it at that moment.  I have gone into the documents and settings directories 
and have checked under each Start-up/Programs/Start-up to make sure IExplorer shortcut 
is not there.

What am I overlooking? 

Thanks

UPDATE TO ABOVE.........

Just to add, with my dial-up and computer system, I am connecting to the internet, 
via the gateway computer, through something called a 'Bridge' in Connections.  

Seems I have something called a '1394 Net Adapter 'thingie' ... and one called 'VIA 
Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter' thingie.
