Once my PC has started, on the desktop, a Dial up Connection box appears
with title which says

connect to : OneTel Broadband Connection

then there is a check box (which is ticked) which says

connect automatically

Then there are 3 boxes

1) Connect 2) Settings 3)Cancel

When I start my computer I always get this box which seems normal !!
I just click on -- Connect and internet works fine.

But at the moment over that Box I am getting an error message box

with the title
Error Connecting to OneTel Broadband Connection

Then below that
Checking network connections...

Then below that
TCP/IP CP reported error 31: A device attached to the system is not
functioning

And below that, there are 3 boxes :
1) Redial 2) Cancel 3) More Info

All I do is close the box or click on Cancel to get rid of it

Then if I click on -- Connect -- on the other box the internet works fine.

It is really really annoying having this error message box appear all the time.
Is there a way I can stop it ??
