Default I.E. brings up dial-up connection when wireless is available

Hello All,
There is one room of my house that has weak signal to a wireless network
that connects to the internet. Sometimes, but not allways, and perhaps
because of the low signal strength, I.E. 6 will bring up the dial-up
connection dialog box. Is there a way I can set this up so that I.E. only
looks for the wireless network as a connection?

TIA,
Tom

In IE, Tools, Internet Options, Connections, check Never dial a connection.

Thanks Ron. That's simple enough.
