Hi there peeps,

I have a question about Windows update on WIN98.

Let me explain what the setup is before I ask. My wife and I went to her doctor today to check up on the status of our baby to be born soon. He said he had problems with his PC trying to dial into the internet all the time. It sounded simple enough to fix, but when I tried go set his dialup connection properties I saw that he doesn't have any dialup connection under "Dialup Networking". Then with asking a few quistions I found that they hava a small network running. It is 3 computers linked up and the ISDN modem setup on a server based PC. I went to that PC to see what the properties of the dialup connection is, just to see that there aren't any. The lady then showed me that she had a Webbased (Meaning you use IE explorer to set and check your status of the connection) dialup network setup, which I haven't seen before. Ok that is the background of their setup.

The problem is that it seems that his PC enables the ISDN connection ramdomly and they had to unplug the ISDN BOX so that his PC doesn't connect and run his phone bill up. He said he thinks it's windows update that does it, but I can't remember where to set Windows Update on 98 not to update. But what I did do is to disable his "Scheduled Tasks". There weren't anything in there that was set. So I'm not to sure if this was the reason.

So now I need your help. I hope I made sense trying to explain.

Thanx Guys
Cheers
