Preventing RAS from dialing out for local network activity

Go Up to Disabling Automatic Internet Dialup

Perform the following if you are using Windows NT RAS:

1. Start the registry editor, with regedit.exe

2. Move to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\ Addresses

A better way to view these is to type rasautou -s from the command prompt

3. In the sub-keys, look for the local address and name; select the key and select Delete from the Edit menu

4. Close the registry editor

You might also wish to add addresses to the disabled list:

5. Start the registry editor with regedt32.exe, not regedit.exe

6. Move to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RAS Autodial\Control

7. Double click Disabled Addresses and add the address on a new line; click OK when you are finished

8. Close the registry editor

You must reboot the machine in both of the above cases.
