IP and DNS – Internet with router

The configuration of the TCP/IP protocol of each workstation, I put the IP address of the router for the gateway andfor the DNS, the IP address of the internet service provider. It works fine when they need to enter the internet but the router is always connecting to the internet spending a phone call out need, each time a computer is turned on or when accessing other stations in the network.
