The "dial-up" part of that notification bothers me. Doesn't your
Internet connection come in on your LAN or network interface card?
If so, in Control Panel (or IE/Tools), go to Internet Options, Connections tab,
select "Never dial a connection."
I bet he has a Dial-Up connection listed Network Neighborhood/Properties. I have this happen on my laptop from time to time as well but I need the Dial-Up Connection for my Cell Phone & Land Line use. When Windows can't find an active connection it looks to initiate a new one. I bet if he tweaked his wireless connection properties he could all but stop it completely. BTW this is what I had to do but sorry I don't recall the specifics.
