- You have a Web Proxy client (Web Browser) connected to a Web Page that has a refresh tag in it.
- The active caching of the Web Proxy Service is updating the cache.
- Other TCP/IP traffic is hitting the modem connection from the Internet.
WORKAROUND

- Open the Dial Up Networking dialog box, and select User Preferences from the More button.
- Disable AutoDial by Location and set Idle Seconds Before Hanging Up to the desired amount of time.
- Choose Logon Preferences from the More button and set Idle Seconds Before Hanging Up to the same value as User Preferences.
