My notebook users are experiencing a series of auto-dialing dialog boxes when logging on in an offline mode. These are Dell Latitudes running Windows NT 4.0 SP5 128 bit using TCP/IP only. I have configured a hardware profile with the "network disabled hardware" setting. It asks to dial in to (4) different NT 4 Srv & Wkst.

I have already searched (regedit) the registry for these names. There is no LmHost file either.

What is the cause of this and how do I find the culprit(s)?

Here are the Registry setting:

The Winlogon subkey stores configuration data for the
Winlogon service.
Registry path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows?NT
\CurrentVersion
\Winlogon

RASForce REG_SZ0 | 1

Default: 0

Determines whether the Logon Using Dialup Networking check box is
selected by default when the system starts. This value entry is used
only when a dial-up networking (Remote Access Service ? RAS) connection
is installed and the workstation is part of a domain.

Value Meaning
0 Logon Using Dialup Networking check box is cleared.
1 Logon Using Dialup Networking is selected.

I did not adequately describe the situation. The autodials occur after logon is complete.

Ok ,

i guess you looked at :

1. Startup folder in the Profile

2. Run REG_SZ [Path]File name(s)

Default: (Blank value)

Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows?NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

Specifies the applications Windows?NT runs at startup.
This value entry stores a list of file names of applications or documents associated with an application. Each file name must be separated from the others by a space. If the file is not located in the Systemroot directory, you must specify the path to the file.

I searched the entire registry for the PCs & servers it wanted to dial-up. The PCs don't show up in a regedit search. The run and load values are empty in the registry.
