Restart Windows
Method 2:
Network Connections/Advanced/Dial-Up Preferences/Enable Auto-Dial by Location/Check all locations and uncheck Always ask me before Auto-Dialing.
Also, this registry edit may be missing/incorrect on your system: (From Kelly Theriot):
Windows has the option to automatically dial your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to establish an Internet connection. This option can be controlled using this tweak. Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
Value Name: EnableAutodial
Data Type: REG_BINARY (Binary Value)
Value Data: (00 00 00 00 = disabled, 01 00 00 00 = enabled)
Create a new binary value named "EnableAutodial", and set the new value to equal "01 00 00 00" to enable autodial or "00 00 00 00" to disable it.
Note: This restriction can be used either on a user by user basis by adding it to HKEY_CURRENT_USER or on a computer wide basis by adding it to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

You may want to push the issue with a registry addition:
If remote connections are enabled in Windows, the system may try to initiate an Internet connection at Windows startup or at the start of many applications. This setting disables/enables that behavior.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole. Value Name: EnableRemoteConnect, Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value), Value Data: "Y" = enable automatic connections, "N" = disabled.
Create a new String value, or modify the existing value, called 'EnableRemoteConnect' and edit the value according to the settings shown. Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.
