Cant disable automatic internet connection

Hi folks

Unlike most people here I cant stop XP Home connecting to the internet when
I log on. I've disabled all automatic connections via 3rd party software (
live updates , messenger etc).
I'm using Internet connection sharing Gateway with an XP Pro machine hosting
ADSL. Everytime I disconnect or disable the connection it reconnects within
a minute or so.
I've run task manager/processes to try to identify the source but no luck
....any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Martin

This is from a message I saved by MVP Kelly Theriot in response to a
similar question. In that case, though it was dial-up, so I don't know
if the same technique can be used.

Disable or Enable AutoDial (Line 91)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

To view the list of names and addresses recorded by AutoDial, type the
following command at a command prompt: rasautou -s

To delete a name or address entry from the list: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Addresses

You can delete any TCP/IP addresses that you see under this key. Note
that AutoDial can use IP addresses, DNS fully qualified domain names
(FQDN), and NetBIOS names.
