recently, i had set up an ics (Internat sharing connection) between two pc which is running on window ME. i found that the host machine will automatically dial up after certain time frame. Initially i thought that was cause by some software on the host or the client machine request for dial up, but after i check evything i don,t see there is any software called for dial up (i even look into the e-mail software). Please help me to solve this problem.

You might have some program trying to run an "Auto-Update" type of service and needs to connect to the internet to check for any updates.

I had the same problem. Be sure on Internet Explorer under tools the Connection Tab dial up if there is no Network connection. it is the radio button in the middle.
In my case what was causing the modem to dial up was Norton antivirus. The Live Update option settings had the dial up option.
If that is the case open Norton Antivirus, click on Live Update, then click on the tab Live Update, click on configure, click on the tab ISP, then make sure the option set is Internet Options in the control Panel for the option. Where Should Live Update get your internet settings.

I hope this helps.
