Dial-up Problem.

Famio · 05-24-2005, 09:25 AM

My problem is that whenever i switch on my PC, the dial-up starts connecting on its own. If i cancel it once then it pops u again and this goes on and on. What is the problem ? First i thought that it was becasue of Kazaa, maybe its dialing on its own but even after closing Kazaa, it keeps on dialing ? what is the problem ?

What programs do you have running at startup? There could be an auto-update trying to connect. Or spyware! Run Spybot, Ad-Aware etc then reboot.

I haven't used dialup for a while, but isn't there an option to turn off auto-connect? It brings up a password window, I think.
