What does it usually show if not that? Sounds pretty standard to me, when you "dial up" you dial into a remote server which then acts as a "middle man" and sends/receives the data to/from the internet for you.

It all sounds perfectly normal. If anything "weird" starts happing (i.e. computer shuts down by itself, internet won't work, etc.) post back here in detail & one of us will assist you further. For now, don't worry about it, you're fine :-)

.
Dial-up connections are networked to a wide area.
This means that example Sprint, might have their main computers/Servers in one geographical location,
but to handle more distant clients (like you) they expand their network to reach to a number of remote computers.
Then users in that "remote" geographical area can connect to those remote computers,
and get networked to the main Servers.
The message is normal for dial-up
networks.

You are connected to the dial-up server at your ISPs location. That's how dialup connections work. Completely normal.

regularly, you acquire those blunders messages at the same time as between good the following circumstances is real: A community cable is disconnected. The modem has been disabled. The modem drivers are corrupted. undercover agent ware is operating on the computing gadget and is meddling with the relationship. Winsock must be repaired. 0.33-party firewall application is blockading the relationship. so verify for this reason...

It means that your not connected as part of a company network, that your computer is on it's own and connected. If it as on a work pc it wouldn't say it.
Don't worry, it's normal.
