    Two of the most common culprits for this sort of thing are MSN Messenger [if you use it, or it's allowed to run in the background], and Windows ME automatic updates.

    If Messenger is the culprit go into Messenger/tools/options/preferences, and uncheck the "run this program when windows starts" box.

    If it's the auto update, go to control panel/automatic updates, and turn it off.

    The easiest way to keep the computer from dialing automatically, is to uncheck the "Connect Automatically" box. Also if ICS is running on your machine that may be causing the problem.
