The easiest way to do this is to disable the
RAS AutoDial service:
To re-enable you would repeat the above but change
the startup to automatic.
Its possible to disable the modem speaker in
a number of ways. The easiest method is to use
the RAS properties:
- Double click 'My Computer'
- Double click "Dial-Up Networking'
- Select the Dial-up connection, click More
and select 'Edit entry and modem properties'
- Select the Basic tab and at the bottom next
to 'Dial using:' click Configure
- At the bottom of the Modem Configuration
dialog is a 'Disable modem speaker' check
box, check it and click OK
- Click OK to the main dialog and close all
other dialogs
An alternative (and you may try this if the
above fails to work) is to edit the dial string
and add the control sequence for your modem
to disable the speaker, its normally M0 however
this can vary.
- Start the Modem control panel applet (Start
- Settings - Modems)
- Select the modem and click Properties
- Select the Connection tab
- Click the Advanced button and the bottom
of the dialog
- In the 'Extra settings' box enter the command
string to disable the speaker, e.g.
M0
- Click OK to the dialogs
How
can I get the Dial-Up Networking information
in Windows 2000? |
In Windows NT 4.0 if you select Properties
for a live connection you got details such as
connected speed, bytes in, bytes out, duration
etc.
If you right click on the connection and select
Status in Windows 2000 you get less information
(although presented better). You can still get
the old NT 4.0 connection information by running:
rasphone -s
This will start the Dial-Up Networking monitor
and display NT 4.0 format connection information.
