Making sure the Internet Connection Stays Disconnected

Posted: 11-01-2003, 04:11 AM
Someone I know has a dial-up connection on a Microsoft Windows (I believe
XP) system.

This computer sometimes goes online without the person being aware that it
has. It then stays online for indeterminate amounts of time and effectively
cuts that person off from the outside world.

What can be done to make sure that the computer does NOT go online unless it
is specifically told to go online?

Thanks,

Nick Eckert
