Problem Windows Mail

I recently installed an inexpensive Belkin router to establish a wirelless
connection in my home. It seems to work perfectly; however, since then,
whenever I access Windows Mail to read Newsgroups, a "Dial-up Connection"
window pops up, despite the fact I already have a DSL connection to the
Internet, and despite that the Newsgroups and sites in Microsoft Communities
show updated messages. It takes at least 3 clicks of Cancel or the
upper-right corner X to close the Dial-up window. Any way to get Windows
Mail to recognize the DSL connection and stop the pop-up Dial-up window?

In Windows Mail - Tools - Options - General Tab
"If My Computer is not connected at this time"

Set to DO NOT CONNECT

In IE - Tools - Internet Options - Connections Tab
Set to Never Dial a Connection
