Need to switch Dial Up Networking [dial up networking] [modem]
Q: I have my mobile phone to act as a dial-up modem for when I am away from the Internet. The problem is that when I have Internet access and a web page times out, close the dialog box pops up the dial-up modem. This is really annoying if I sites like digg.com where half the links are dead browsing.
Is there a way to the Bluetooth modem off when Im not using?
Im Windows XP.
Best Answer: In internet explorer tool go to connections and set dial when a network is not available.

Re:Thats what I'm currently doing, but I consider it an unacceptable solution. Installation and configuration takes about 10 minutes, which is a ridiculous amount time considering I want to use this to quickly check the internet when I'm away from an internet connection.

Re:I've gone to device manager. Under the modem section it has "Bluetooth modem" and "Standard modem". I have disabled both of them, but the connection dialog still pops up.
And yes, I have restarted the computer.

Re:In the dial-up preferences I have disabled auto-dial. But it still pops up and asks me if it is ok to dial. I can't find any setting to completely turn off the connection.
It would be nice to simply disable the dial up connection like I can disable a LAN connection.
