I have DSL, a linksys router. When im surfing the web, i get the windows connection box and it popups asking me if i want to connect to the internet ( the box that shows up when you go to network connections and connect). I have to close it to keep on browsing. I got over it at first but its getting more annoying. Any ideas? I’ve tried restarting my router/modem, no luck.

its in your internet options. You need to tell it not to dial for a connection.

Thanks! Hope it works. I still don’t know why it doesn’t see a connection though.
