Dial up activates when enter network neighborhood.

I have a small Windows 98 network running TCP/IP and NetBEUI.  On one computer, when I choose “Network Neighborhood”, the default dial up connection get activated and it wants to connect to my ISP without Outlook or Internet Explorer running.  How do I turn this off?

Also in ie5,
tools - internet options - settings
select the DUN connection that you use and click settings. At the bottom there is a check box for dont allow any programs to use this connection. make sure this is checked off

Setting to "never dial connection"  seem to have doen the trick.  From this machine we are not surfing anyway, just e-mail.  The operator now ties this into installing an Autodesk demo that requires some IE4 stuff.

Thanks
