Very Computer

I think I posted something to this effect before, but as I still don't
know the answer, I'm trying again.
I'm running suse linux 6.0 + squid 2.2 on one machine, win98 + netscape
on another. My linux machine is configured for automatic dial-up.
Sometimes, I would surf to certain sites. After exiting netscape, the
linux machine would dial up for no good reason, accessing the site I had
visited earlier. This happens even after I reboot or turn off the win98
machine, so it has nothing to do with windows wanting to dial up ever so
often.
My explanation is that scripts are being cached by squid, and that these
scripts are being allowed to run.
Does anyone know about this problem, and what to do about it?
Thanks in advance.

If I had to guess, it is probably Windows 98 doing a DNS lookup.

If you think it is Linux, see if there are any programs running
that might cause this.  I don't know that much about squid, but
I thought it only cached pages to your local hard drive.

Try the tcpdump program and see if you can find out what is causing
your link to come up.

If you are using the demand dial function in pppd, I don't know
if you have much choice in controlling it.  If you are using
diald, then you can mess around with the different rules on what
will and will not bring up your link.
