    After I connect my laptop to my house's Wifi network, I need to make a dial-up connection in order to get access to the Internet.
    I find this strange because people have told me that after I am connected to a Wifi network, I do not need to make dial-up connection any more.

    Can people please share your insight on this issue? Many thanks.

    Check your proxy settings to make sure they aren't set to your old dialup ISP.

    Sounds like your internet connections settings is still set to the old dial-up setup go to your configuration and delete that dail-up profile. Look at these links
