Stopping the automatic dialing...

[Samuri]

I'm not really sure what I did to my system, but for the last two mornings, my PC will automatically connect to the internet....

I keep it on around the clock, and while I was watching TV the other morning (in the other room), it just started dialing.

I have WindowsXP Home, and an internal 56k USR modem. I just did some major updating to my video card, and the Nvidia and VIA drivers associated with it, but I didn't think that would make the needed changes.

Does anybody have any ideas of where to look to stop this? Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

In internet explorer > tools > internet options > connections
there, click on "never dial a connection" for the dial-up u use that should do it.

I would be more concerned with why it was trying to dial.
