I think the proper way is to set your connection option in Internet Settings to something like dial only when needed. If you only have one machine and no network card, it may decide that localhost (127.0.0.1) does not exist and therefore dials out. Localhost was not intended for no network, it was intended for local use only, but still requires TCP to be present. Without a NIC, no TCP is present. Adding a NIC and binding TCP to it would get around it for sure though.
