You could try using "dial whenever a network connection is not present" (2 of 3). Your laptop will not attempt to dial when you have it set to "never dial a connection".

Follow-up: if I make this change, when traveling, would my laptop automatically recognize if I used the dial-up or I'd continue to have to switch back and forth? Up until this problem first began, if I were traveling and used a dial-up, the computer automatically recognized that port was being used and brought up my Connect Using... box so I could type in the number. It isn't a dealbreaker if I need to switch the settings every time I travel, but sure be nicer to have the box automatically figure out which means of connecting I was using, as it used to until recently. Thanks! Best, Joe Monks Every day you haven't written is a day you've written off...
