Internet Provider Sign-in Screen Appears with Winsock ProgramID: Q134700
|
When you run a Winsock application (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer), your Internet provider (such as The Microsoft Network) sign-in screen may appear.
This behavior occurs when you have a network adapter and a modem installed in your computer and the AutoDial feature is enabled. In many cases this is expected behavior; however, this may also occur unexpectedly.
To prevent this behavior from occurring, use the appropriate method:
Your Microsoft Exchange service provider or other service provider may
also try to use the AutoDial feature when it is enabled.
After you follow the steps above, Internet Explorer does not attempt to
automatically dial your Internet service provider (ISP) and Winsock
programs do not attempt to automatically dial a connection.
This issue can also occur if you configure Internet Explorer to connect to
The Internet using a dial-up connection, and you configure Outlook Express
to connect to the Internet using a local area network (LAN). When you start
Outlook Express you may be prompted to connect using your dial-up
connection. If you click cancel, Outlook Express connects using the LAN.
