I've always had that with Windows95 -- even when you are connecting to
localhost it insists on bringing up the connect box.

IIRC one `solution' is to connect using a 16 bit program, as Microsoft in
their infinite wisdom decided that only 32 bit programs would automatically
pop up the dialog.

If there is a solution, though, I'd love to know it.
