Hi,

I have a friends PC here which constantly tries to dial up it's own Internet
Connection - when not needed!

I have un-checked "Connect Automatically" in the "Dial-Up Connection" Box
but it still continues to dial - particularly when you open up "My Computer"

Pleas help!

Thanks
Simon
 
Thanks for your help here.

I did this but it still keeps trying to connect.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

To rectify this problem delete a name or address entry from the list: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Addresses

You can delete any TCP/IP addresses that you see under this key.

Note that AutoDial can use IP addresses, DNS fully qualified domain names

(FQDN), and NetBIOS names.

You might also check for folder called dialers. Some websites automatically add a phone dialer to your computer. the majority of these dialers will dial long distance to porn sites in the background. If you don't stop them, there is a possibility you will received a large long distance phone bill
