Go to Control Panel and click on the Internet settings applet. Select the CONNECTION tab window. I think Win'98 has a specific setting that says "auto connect/dialup". Uncheck that. If it does not have it, then simply select "connect to the Internet using the local area network" - this should also stop the auto dialin from happening, but your internet stuff will still work when you have dialed into your ISP.
