    Every time I boot up my PC, my computer attempts to connect to the internet via dial-up. I have a wireless network and can connect to the internet that way. This involuntary attempt to "dial-up" is bothering me. Is there any method to prevent my PC from automatically involuntarily connect to the internet via dial-up every time I boot my PC?

    All help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Thank you. The bottom solution worked, not the 'best answer.' I appreciate it.

    You're most welcome; of course, the credit goes to the good soul who wrote the solution that worked, not I. ;)
