For the last two weeks I have the following problem:
Everytime I disconnect from the Internet it will automatically redial and reconnect.This happens only when I disconnect.The only solution I have is to recycle power to the system.Tried Norton Antivirus, but no succes... Using WinXP O.S.

might check email or other internet programs you use for an option to redial if connection is lost. You might also check your modem properties but I dont rem. any options there for auto redialing anything. If you have a special dialer program or use AOL there might be options there to redial if a connection is lost. Make sure Norton is updated with the latest virus definitions.

Just my initial thoughts,

Go to the Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections. Make sure Never Dial a Connection is selected. This makes it so it shouldn't dial unless you initiate it.

If you are not familiar with Control Panel - Open Explorer - Click Tools -> Internet Options.
Choose Connections - then choose "Never dial a connection"
Good luck
