    Hi!

    First post here.

    I have a dial up connection configured. In repeated occasions when connected via wi-fi, accessing a new web page either on a new tab or new window, the dial-up dialog window pop ups pausing the downloads or whatever I'm doing as if the wi-fi connection dropped. The weird thing is that the wireless connection never get disconnected, as soon as I click cancel in the dial-up dialog the session resume perfectly. No errors are displayed in the wireless adapter console.

    This has happened in different hotspots locations.

    Any ideas?

    My equipo:

    HP DV6575us
    Intel (R) Wireless Wi-Fi Link 4965AGN

    TIA!

    P.D. Out of topic:Is there any way to know if the laptop have bluetooth installed?

    thats odd... maybe you should tell it to connect manually rather than automatically

    Darth Crimsonman! Thanks for replying. I remove the "use as default connection" check mark from the dial-up settings but apart from that I don't know what are you talking about connecting manually. Sorry for so many questions and again thanks!

    under internet options [tools] look for a tab that says connections, check Never dial a connection. GL
