Okay - I am running XP and have a dial-up connection.
whenever i open an app. that requires internet access it automatically dials out. this is on my computer.
my grandfather bought a box loaded with XP and when he opens an app. that requires internet access, he is required to make his connection first. manually...
i.e. if i am NOT connected to my isp if i open "windows messenger" my connection is automatically dialed out.
my grandfather on the other hand haves to connect first then open messenger.
where in XP do I need to make a change. i can\'t seem to find it...
