Try this (don't kill me if it doesn't work):

Start > connect to > your ISP > properties > advanced > now untick the box to 'establish a dial up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the internet' > ok.

See if that fixes it. Otherwise, someone else will have to step in

Awwww man...I was hoping you'd fixed it
Do you get any program names when you search for firewalls? Can you take a screenshot of your search results (might give a clue to someone)?
Did you get the dial up off?
Did you ever find out if Atlantic has a backup dial up service & if so, did you try that?

Forget about the screenshot for now, wait & see what Atlantic say.
You've done a great job with all this & have been really patient, I hope that there's a way to get LW working for you

PeoplePC's an ISP

I guess you can delete all that stuff if you're not going to use them to connect.
