From: Seeker on 6 Jul 2008 00:04 I have only recently been using wireless. I do still have a dial-up account, but it is really just for backup. Problem is, the dialer keeps starting, When my wireless connection gets a little weak, the dialer pops up and takes over the connection. How can I set the dialer to only start when I open Network Connections, and start it from there.? Never automatically? Thanks Steve

From: Seeker on 6 Jul 2008 05:58 Internet Options is also in Control Panel, and it was already clicked. Does not seem to work. But I do thank you for the feedback.

From: Joan Archer on 6 Jul 2008 10:30 Also remember to put a tick in the box to not show the dialogue box again until boot up, it will go away then until the next time you have problems with the broadband connection, I know it happens to me occasionally <g> -- Joan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher http://lachsoft.com/photogallery "Seeker" <Seeker(a)4u.com> wrote in message news:cl5174lja3ntlhkgovlp81gsel8uak7uop(a)4ax.com... > Internet Options is also in Control Panel, and it was already clicked. > Does not seem to work. > > But I do thank you for the feedback. > Steve > > > On Sat, 5 Jul 2008 21:21:05 -0700, "iPC" <nospam(a)nospamfbi.org> wrote: > >>If using IE, click: tools>internet options>connections tab, click Never >>Dial >>a connection or Dial whenever... >> >> >>"Seeker" <Seeker(a)4u.com> wrote in message >>news:2sg074l3r5keu0795dq143ehkbe5b5d010(a)4ax.com... >>>I have only recently been using wireless. >>> >>> I do still have a dial-up account, but it is really just for backup. >>> >>> Problem is, the dialer keeps starting, When my wireless connection >>> gets a little weak, the dialer pops up and takes over the connection. >>> >>> How can I set the dialer to only start when I open Network >>> Connections, and start it from there.?

Where is that box? Internet Options? or Network Connections? I can't find it in either one of those.
