I use a broadband modem to log on each time i connect to my ISP.
i successfully downloaded from microsoft 3rd nov 2006 latest IE7
Once connected using my usual dial up box i later get another dial up box… and when i try to remove it from screen if disconnects my original connection.
How can i stop this additional box appearing.
Thanks for any forthcoming help

Check your Connections Option in Internet Options.
Which boxes do you have checked off?
Welcome to the forum. 
Thanks for the welcome…
I only have my ISP dial up in the connection settings.
A few mins ago i was surfing the net and i decided to log onto yahoo messenger so i clicked on usual icon and logged on ok but i alsoi got the DIAL UP BOX AGAIN… if i try to close the box it disconnects from net but if i just hit connect option the box disappears ok… and eveything is fine… i just wish to stop the box appearing n the first place .
Cheers.

the connection ticked off is ONLY DIAL MY DEFAULT CONNECTION
If your on broadband now you shouldn’t need to use dial-up, so it looks like Yahoo is trying to dial your default connection which still must be listed somewhere.
So are there any dial-up connections listed in the Dial-up and Virtual Private Network Settings window that Bob posted ?
You could also try the ‘Dial whenever a network connection isn’t present’ and see if that stops it.
Yes i am on broadband but i dont stay connected all the time… i have a usb modem to connect.
i attach a jpg of the box i get… it isnt my usual sign on box
this problem has only occured since ive been on IE7 since yesterday
Yes, that may well be your dial-up connection image, but you should also have the same settings in IE7 as the image that Bob has displayed. I don’t use IE7 but I assume it would be similar to IE6 Tools, Internet Options.
Also one of those connections that appear will be your default connection, that one should be the ADSL modem connection, otherwise Yahoo will be using the wrong one. Or if it is using the same one but duplication that, then try the other option I suggested earlier ‘Dial whenever a network connection isn’t present.’ Either that or stop Yahoo connecting automatically.
I’ve had the same d#mn dial-up connection dialogue box after installing IE7 too- usually when using Media Player to watch a video clip, although other applications seem to bring it up when attempting to use the internet: SpywareBlaster today, I think.
If you’re on broadband, you’re always connected and should therefore not select any connection selection.
(the suggestion David made would be OK since it would also result in not connecting.)
The Modem referred to in these settings is for dial-up purposes. Since you don’t need to dial a phone number,
it doesn’t apply to broadband or cable users.
You are always connected as long as your computer is turned on. (Even after the computer is shut down unless you turn off the modem)
Look at the picture I posted.
Broadband users connected via a phone line also use a modem.
Mine’s an ADSL modem.
I think it is a glitch in IE7 as I get it as well
Correct Frank but you don’t dial a phone# in order to connect your computer to the internet.
Those of us using Cable also have a Modem which is simply a conversion device. (Etymology: modulator + demodulator)
Hi all
Just going to ask a silly question about this dial up box showing up if you are on Dialup
would you be charged for reconnecting, or is this just another glitch.
Cheers
You are always connected as long as your computer is turned on.
Correct Frank but you don't dial a phone# in order to connect your computer to the internet.
My connection is not always on: I have to use a dial-up connection to connect. The number is ‘0’. The IE7 glitch produces the dial-up connection dialogue that keppy posted. This is also the dialogue box that comes up if an application wants to connect to the internet and I’m not connected, but in this case I am already connected.
The number is '0'.Strange, maybe it's different in your country. Here, with DSL, your phone is hooked into one line of the splitter and the other line goes to your Modem. The Modem is then plugged into your computer. The computer never dials a #.
For me the same… I never had a problem with a dial-up connection being started :

have a good one my friend 8)
Hi
I reinstalled IE7 and i am no longer getting disconnected Followed (bob3160 ) advice 8)
I am getting Dial up box appearing as long as i click connect i stay connected, I do not have to redial. (yippee)
I can live with that till Microsoft finds a fix !hoping anyway!
Cheers
I stopped that dialup box by setting it to “never dial a connection”. I connect before I start IE7, so IE7 connection settings aren’t used anyway.
