Sims 2 changing my internet connection
Mary:
No Tiscali.
J. M. Pescado:
If you're on a broadband connection, why does your computer "dial" one at all?
Mary:
Thats a good question. I think its because my computer is a few years old and I was on a dial-up at first. When I go into the connections tab in tools thats what it has written on it. Normally when I open up explorer the broadband connection clicks on with no problem. Its only happening with the game.

My latest ep is mansion and gardens apart from that I have all the eps up to and including AL. I do use the launcher, I have a firewall and yes I do know what one is. I also assume I have Securom.
If you're running from the launcher, and you have anything BV or newer, yup, you do. I would try SecuROM removal for good measure (sticky in the podium, or see Reclaim Your Game). I never had issues with it screwing with my 'net connection. My version was BV. However, it does try to broadcast through your firewall, and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the new & improved is resetting things.
Yeah, running malware checks is never a bad idea, but since these issues are only happening when TS2 runs, that would suggest a strong likelihood that it's TS2 or one of TS2's hangers-on that's causing it.

So... let me get this straight.
You are on broadband, and therefore you don't need to dial in to your connection.
When you play sims, a setting in IE changes that pertains only to dialing in to a connection.
I think I'm missing why on earth this poses a problem. Can't you just leave the useless setting on whatever-it-is that Sims apparently wants it to be and go back to ignoring it?
