Getting kicked off of internet when I use CD

[ferris209]

I upgraded my computer a couple weeks ago from Windows XP Home to Windows XP Pro and since then I've been having a little bit of a problem. Whenever I try to rip a cd, the computer kicks my dial-up connection. It's not just when ripping either, if I want to play a cd or DVD on either of my two drives, it kicks me from the internet connection. I don't understand it.

Windows XP Pro upgrade

1.2 gig SDRam
Compaq DVD-Rom SD-M1612

There is an 'auto dial' option for CDDB (or freedb server options page), uncheck it.

I had the same problem when playing dvds or ripping audio CDs but since I clean formatted my hard drive and did a fresh install it doesnt seem to be happening but I havent been doing much ripping or playing dvds whilst the internet is on.
