I have 3 computers on the net, 2 with W98 and the Server
has XP. Any operation on the client computers (shutting
down a monitor, pulling up a txt file, etc) will prompt
the Server to attempt a dial-up to my ISP. I'm not
greatly versed in the mechanics of how the Network
operates and have been unable to track down a place to
make changes so this doesn't happen any longer. Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated (please keep in
mind my experience level and don't assume I know
anything!).
Thanks.
 
Start>Settings>Network Connections, right click on the default XP internet
connection and select properties.
Select Advanced tab and remove tick from "establish a dial up connection
whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the internet"
Hope this helps

That seems to have corrected the problem and prelim
testing holds up so far. Thanks for the assist!
