INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to stop Microsoft Windows from initiating a dial-up connection when you start Microsoft Office Groove 2007, Groove Virtual Office, or Groove Workspace or when Groove starts automatically.



MORE INFORMATION
Groove does not change your dial-up connection settings. However, Groove does try to connect to the Internet at startup. This behavior triggers a dial-up connection if the following conditions are true:
 * You do not have another active network connection.
 * Windows Internet options are configured to automatically dial if an application tries to access the network when no network connection is available.

To disable automatic dialing, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, click Internet Options, and then click the Connections tab.
 * 2) Under Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings, click Never dial a connection, and then click OK.
