Help with Broadcomm Card

I am a new user and not a particularly technically competent one.   I am using a Latitude D430 with Vista Business.  For Broadband connections it has a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx controller.  I am on the road in a hotel which has an ethernet broadband connection in my room.   I am connecting to the internet through this ethernet connection.  However, every time that I do something, e.g. go to a new URL, a box pops up labelled "Connect Broadband Connection" which asks for a user name and password and tries do dial a connection.  I have to close it because it appears to stall the ethernet connection while it waits to dial.   I don't understand why it doesn't recognize the ethernet connection.  I can't find a way to disable it without disabling the card and then my ethernet connection doesn't work.  Is there something I can do??  Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

    I also have a dell 1721 with the 1505n card in it that is to support speeds to 270 Dell told me that the dlink dir-655 would work with this card ( to get the 270 speed ) Dlink is telling me that the chipset mite not be suported with the router ? Is this true
