have dsl, but computer continually attemps to use dial-up "aaronep[ at ]pacbell.net" <aaronep[ at ]pacbell.net> 6/13/2007 7:55:05 PM I have windows xp with service pack 2. Also have ATT & T dsl service and AT&T dialup service. also am using Firefox browser. When I depress the Firefox icon, I automatically able to access the internet using dsl service. However, when in the dsl mode and I try to reach a site, I find accessing is extremely slow. when I "x" out of dsl browser, I find the dial-up window on the screen. My suspicion is that the computer is attempting to access the dial-up service while in the dsl service and that is causing a slow down. My question, how can I stop the computer from accessing the dial up service when using dsl service.? best, Aaron

Re: have dsl, but computer continually attemps to use dial-up "BruceM" <bruce9950[ at ][ at ]hotmail.com> 6/13/2007 11:00:21 PM I wonder if you're using one of those pretend ADSL modems that some ISP's use? Is it a USB only D-Link DSL-200 one that is slightly bigger than a cig packet? If it is, then these do use the dial-up interface. Grab yourself a decent network cable connected one off Ebay or somewhere. Then you can set what the previous poster told you, (to Never dial up a connection).

Or you can always delete the options under the dial up connections. Either way works just as well.
