My weekend house is in a remote location with no high speed access, so I use DNS to go to establish a connection at conventient times to change parameters and send status update e-mails to myself during the week. Strangely, recently the e-mails routinely stop and DNS to go is not able to dial up because some other applications on my computer are trying to access the dial up connection. I return for the weekend to find the screen hung up on waiting for somebody to enter a password to access the dial up connection. Things had worked great for a long time and now they don't. I have been unable to determine which application is trying to access the internet. When I leave the house on Sunday I leave only Homeseer and Outlook express running, but clearly there is something running in the background that is causing problems. I have turned off automatic updates for Windows (I run it manually each weekend). I have Norton Antivirus installed but have disabled Live Updates and run it manually on the weekends.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
