Your computer may "dial on it's own" if you have either set it to automatically reconnect when the connection is terminated abruptly, or if a program that you are using is trying to connect to the internet to perform a task.

How do you connect to the internet via wireless adapter on a dial up computer?

ADDITIONAL INFO! I don't know how to add it to the question, soo... I have a very old computer running windows 2000 ME and it usually connects to the internet through dial up. We got rid of dial up a long time ago and recently I bought a NETGEAR WG111T wireless adapter. I downloaded the installation files onto my working computer and transferred them to the second non-internet computer via flash drive and installed all the needed software and drivers. The adapter is connected to my router but my computer wants to use dial-up to connect to the internet. Does anyone know a way to re-work the computer so that it connects to the internet with the adapter not dial-up?


Why wont GIMP download on your dial-up computer?

Due to the program's large filesize, downloading GIMP on a dial-up connection can take a very long time. If the computer is disconnected or has to redial, the process can be interrupted. However, it's not impossible. When I had dial-up, I downloaded gimp using the Firefox browser and left my computer on all night. In the morning the file was finally done and I installed it.
