Since broadband does not require a connection, I would just delete the
connection to Comcast through Control Panel, Network connections.  If you do
not want to delete this connection, although I can not see it doing you any
good, you can go into Internet Explorer, then Tools, Internet Options,
Connection Tab, and choose never dial a connection.  This setting allows
Windows to dial into a connection if you do not have a connection present
however it is a little flaky in my experience.  Good Luck.

I hope this is the right place to ask my question.  I am having a hard  time

following where to ask.
 
My question for you is this:  I seem to get the problem fixed only  to  have
it return.  I get the pop up box that says: Dial up   Connection  Select the
service you want to connect to.
Connect   to: Broadband connection
lxl    connect automatically
lconnectl           lsettingsl      lcancell
Dialing  Comcast
Dialing  Attempt 1
NEXT BOX:
Connecting  Broadband  Connection
Dialing  Comcast
lcancell
3rd BOX:
Error  connecting to Broadband  Connection

I have to keep hitting cancel in order to view  a  web page.  I have
Windows XP and have the updates  automatically  installed.  I also have 
Broadband
with Comcast  which obviously requires no  dial-up.
This time, the error  began to appear after  downloading Trend Micro
Anti-virus.  I  called tech support.  The first  person was unable (after 1 
hour)  to
resolve the problem.  The second  tech support was more  helpful.  The 
problem
seemed to be taken  care of.  But it  was short-lived and I now am having
the
problem again -  although it  does not happen all the time like it did 
before.
Can you  help me?????   Please?????
I realize this is quite a  lengthy question.   If you care to edit it for
your column - please  feel free.
Thank you for your  help.
Monica
