You sure it is computer and not the modem.

Thanks for your response. I missed it the first time I posted. Sorry.

No, I'm not sure. I know that I have no applications defined, including MS
Fax, and nothing in network connections to look for incoming. The only
thing of note is that this computer has been used for internet connection
sharing. My understanding of this feature is that it doesn't answer
incoming PHONE calls, but will respond to packets sent to the computer from
other computers on the lan -- via the lan -- and will then dial out.

I have a windows xp pro machine connected to a phone line that is used
for internet service via dialup. The problem, incoming calls get
automatically answered after the 2nd ring by the computer, even though no
inbound RAS configuration was established. There is no fax software on
the machine.

How do I get the machine to NOT autoanswer?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
