Well that might be a start but...
I had this utility to configure the connection sharing bit of Win98 (ICS
configuration; search "ICS configuration" in Google) which had an option
to disable the auto-dial function. (I think it's a different registry
entry to the regular auto-dial function you see in Control Panel->
Internet settings)

I seem to remember that Microsoft's answer to this was to disable
auto-dial in Control Panel; but seeing as this is what you did, then I'd
try the ICS configuration tool.
