well first look in start/program files/startup look if there is a dial-up connection icon there.. if there is remove it and it will cease to bother you..

what type (high speed or dial up(raspppoe))connection do you use?
what version of windows do you use?

Check the startup at your MSCONFIG, also the runservice at your registry.....

Dial up window will open after the loading of program that need a internet connectivity. So we are going to find out what program is it, as i mentioned it is on a startup,,,Find that program there and disable it. Restart...

and your done..

Some older viruses (about a year ago) used to exhibit this behaviour. Trying to establish a connection and deliver their payload behind the scenes. I you can't guarantee that you are virus-free I would recommend starting there. (NAV 2002 is a decent option).

If you are clean then alternatively (as Pinoy_Teknik said) it is possibly a program that is loading at start up that requires an internet connection.
