I have been traveling and, in the hotel, I could not stop my notebook from
trying to dial in to a modem - even though I was connected to the hotel's
high speed connection. In the Control Panel, I have (under Internet
Connections) - "Never Dial In" checked. I would like to set up my notebook
so that I only attempt to dial in to a modem when I double click on my
connection icon. Could it be that some other program that starts up in the
background doesn't follow the rules in Control Panel?
 
Well there is a way out.
you can create another profile say "TRAVEL PROFILE"
and reboot from that profile and disable your modem hardware there.
so next time it wont come up.

Thanks, but how do I disable my modem?
