[Pc_Support] Network Connections in Windows XP

[Tim McDonough]

In my home office I have wireless DSL service. During bad weather 
(heavy rain, etc.) it occasionally drops out for a second or so. When 
this happens XP tries to fire off my VPN connection to the office. 
This won't work because of course that happens over the WDSL.

The problem is it's really annoying when the connection box pops up 
for the password and I'm in the middle of writing a document, etc. Is 
there a way to tell the Windows VPN connection to ONLY try to open 
when I want it and not have it randomly open trying to find the 
machine a connection to the outside world? I did not see any obvious 
settings like an automatic/manual setting, etc.

Thanks in advance.
