3. Select the Autodial tab.

4. Clear the check boxes under Enable autodial by location.

5. Check the Always ask me before autodialing box.

6. Check the Disable autodial while I am logged on box.

7. Press OK.

8. Close the Network Connections dialog.

To manually connect to the Internet:

1. Use Control Panel / Network and Internet Connections / Network Connections.
