Hi
I have a strange problem. When I start W2K it dials out to the internet. I recently installed SP3, Updated Internet explorer 5.5, updated security and Installed Borland C++ Builder 6.
System configuration:
CUSL2C networked to Dell W98 machine shairing dial up internet connection through the Dell.
Dell is running Internet Security 2002. CUSL2C W2K only has Borland C++ Builder 6 installed.
Both machines show no viruses with Norton 2002 virus software.
Dial out happens even when No is clicked when the firewall asks to allow connection of the CUSL2C.
I don't know where to start. The CUSL2C has worked OK. It dual boots W98 and W2K. Most of the time I have been using W98 second addition. I am just setting up to use C++ Builder6 with W2K Any ideas?
Thank you for your time and Help

Can you install the ZoneAlarm firewall software on it? When any applicaiton tries to connect to the Internet for the first time, ZoneAlarm will pop up a box asking if the application should be allowed to connect.
You should then be able to figure out what it is that's causing the problem.

norton is a great firewall.
i forget exactly where but there is a an "autoconnect when not connected"
button that needs to be turned off. been awhile for w2k

I'm not knocking the Norton solution, but I'm not familiar with the Norton firewall, so I don't know what (if any) alerts it gives you when apps try to access the net.
I know ZoneAlarm does give you pop-ups which is why I suggested it.
