Modem dials ISP in the middle of the night
I have noticed the last couple of weeks that my modem has been dialing up my ISP and logging on in the middle of the night. I don't have anything scheduled, email does not come up, and not browser comes up. Any ideas what could cause this?
Open up Internet options>connections>settin gs, and make sure that the 'connect automatically to update subscriptions' check box is not checked.
good call larbel...

That was a good idea but that box wasn't checked. Any other suggestions to check?

Your Email client may be dialing to download new messages. In Outlook Express You would check Tools>Options>Dialup and see if
automatically dial when checking for new email is selected. Your client, whatever it is, may have a similar feature.
