Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: NET8 TCP/IP connection invokes phone dialer--why?
It looks like this particular client has specified a dialup connect in
Internet explorer to connect to the Internet. This connection is at the same
time stored in the registry as the default internet connection. Hence, it
start dialing as soon as the system asks for any internet connection.
I tried to find the registry key, without luck, and I don't remember from
the top of my head what it is.
Hth anyway,
