The Dial-up dialog box appears when Contribute is connected to the network

By default, the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser is configured to automatically dial a network connection if a connection is not present. In some instances, when Contribute is started, this can cause Contribute to attempt to dial the network connection.

To prevent this from occurring, you can update the Internet Explorer connection settings to never dial up a network connection.

To disable dial-up networking in Internet Explorer:

  1. Start Internet Explorer if it is not already running.
  2. Select Tools > Internet Options.

    The Internet Options dialog box appears.

  3. Click the Connections tab.
  4. Select either Never dial a connection or Dial whenever a network connection is not present under Dial-up settings.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Click OK.
