Go into your IE settings in the "connection" tab and change
the setting to "never dial...". It is probably set to "Always dial..."
or "Dial when not connected". That will take care of this
particular problem.

These should both be either 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0 (Class C).
They should NOT be different, even though you will be able to ping,
and possibly even establish a socket connection, you will definitely
not be able to browse. Also, make sure both machines in the
network identification are in the same workgroup, and, since you
do not have a domain controller, make sure you are not trying to
log on to a domain in your client for windows network service.
