Inserting pictures causes Excel 2003 to launch dialup networking.

I just learned of a new bug...if anybody can confirm this please tell me
how I can get around this issue. First of all, to replicate the
problem...just disconnect from the web. Then launch Excel 2003. Then
select Insert/Picture/From File option in the main menu. After the
dialog box opens...you will immediately see the dialup dialog box open
and attempt to connect to the web.

I've tried disabling the Web services option in Excel 2003 to no avail.
I still get the dialup networking connection trying to load in when I
try to insert simple images located on my local file on my local hard
drive. What the heck is going on here? Any ideas if this is a known bug
or can anybody tell me if this is now considered an issue with Excel
2003? Thanks in advance.
