DIALUP & OFFLINE ERROR MESSAGES

Morning,

DELL Latitude D620 2 MBRAM 1.87 GHz. proc IE7XPPro

I've recently been getting messages like "Webpage unavailable while
offline," which I'm not (connected wirelessly with Intel 3945 PRO internal),
and when I press "Connect" to get rid of the message, I'm presented with a
Dialup dialog which tries to dial through my Conexant modem, which I needless
to say never use!

I've tried to solve this by deleting the WAN mini-port icon in Control Panel
and disabling the modem, but the messages continue to appear, rendering my
IE7 useless because I can't connect without the messages appearing...

BTW, this message problem does not appear to be happening in Mozilla
Firefox...

Can someone please help? I think this started to happen when I was bumbling
along with Wi Fi a couple of weeks ago.

THANKS!!

Goob
