This is for me an iritating problem.

When I start win98 the dial up networking for my internet connection is starting every time. Is there a way to disable this?.

Thanks !

When you state that DialUp "starts" do you mean the connection window appears
or
does it actually start to dial?

If it starts dialing it can be one of the following problems: (as defined by MS)

1.You use a program that automatically checks for updated components or Web pages.

2.A program that dials your ISP is located in the StartUp folder.

3.Your computer is infected with a Trojan horse virus such as System32.exe that starts when you start your computer. (Note: that most anti-virus programs do not currently detect or remove Trojan horse viruses.)

4.Symantec WinFax or HotFax Message Center is installed on your computer.

5.You are using a Lexmark printer. The Lexmark printer software may add Lexstart.exe to the Run key in the registry to handle print commands that you send to the printer. This can cause Dial-Up Networking to prompt you to dial your ISP.

5.You are using Microsoft Personal Web Server 4.0, and the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) service is being loaded from the StartUp folder.

6.You have installed a Beta version of RealAudio 5 on your computer.
