Are you using IP or IPX as the LAN network protocol?  If IPX, have you ensured 
that IP is not bound to the LAN card?  That is in Network Neigbourhood's 
properties, IPX and IPX/SPX are bound to the LAN card while IP is bound to the 
DialUp adapter.

For IE, you can check the Connections section of it's properties page.  There's 
a setting called "always dial my default connection" <not absolutely sure about 
the name> and since I'm now on a OS/2 box, kinda hard to check without running 
up to the kids' rooms.
