No it doesnt. Thanks for your reply, but my computer doesn't try to acces the net when i turn it on (have i done something wrong), anyway, what i wanted to know was when you use a dial up connection, does your pc call microsoft with your information, could you just verify this point for me, thanx. red

OP
Yes the svchost.exe file tries to send something to microsoft, you can see this if you have a firewall (although windows xp own firewall automatically allows this connection)

As for sending info once, I dont think so. Run Norton firewall for awhile and dont configure a rule just block connection at this time. You will soon find out that the OS is consistantly trying to send info.

just unplug the modem/network cable if you are too worried.
