I'm not connected on a LAN. I removed the network card.
I use to use a Dial-Up modem but haven't used it in a while.
I do not have internet access, I cancelled my account.
I did what you said about unchecking the Dial-Up Networking communications box but then I rebooted before opening the network icon in Control panel.
Thanks, I'll try it again without rebooting immediately etc.
Do you know if I need to establish a VPN connectoid first?
I do not have a VPN connectoid or any other one established now.
