I've run into this problem before. Here's what to do:

Right-click on Internet Explorer (who would ever guess, right?) and select Properties from the popup menu.
Click the Connections tab.
You should see a group of three radio buttons in the middle of the screen. Do you have the "Always dial my default connection" box checked? That's likely to be the problem. Change it so that the "Never dial a connection" button is checked, and then hit the OK button. Your Oracle connections should no longer cause your dial-up adapter to open. However, you'll be forced to manually initiate dial-up networking connections when you do want them.
