I work at home and at work at my university as a GSRA
What you have is my setup as well. Except why does your's try to
dial when you are at work?... Mine doesn't. When I'm at home I have
to explicity use the connect to icon that appears for the universiy.
When I set up the internet options and the machine asked if I had a
direct connection or a dialup connection I answered that I would make my
own connections (It was the third option). Seems like it would be alot less
anoying than hitting cancel all the time.
