Look in the program that you are using to connect to the Internet. Look
for options for the sounds and turn them off. For example, if you use
Earthlink's Total Access, you would open it and look for options or
preferences. Another place to look is in the Sounds applet in Control
Panel and disable any sounds there.

The Internet application I use (Conexant ADSL Networking Gateway Control
Application) has no control panel at all, just an "information about..."
pop-up. However, Shawn's suggestion seems to have worked. Thank you for your
help!

Cheers!
