isus Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 make a shortcut for the dial-up thingy. (go to the network connections, and drag it to the startup folder. it will ask to make the shortcut. say yes) open up the properties and tell it to dial automatically (not sure of the wording).

dougkinzinger Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 First let me ask a) why, and b) it can't be that important, else you would have broadband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwarren Veteran Posted October 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2003 For some reason that shortcut doesn't work for some people. Must be a bug in XP. I think that's the only way you can do it, if I remember another way I'll post it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted October 7, 2003 Subscriber² Share Posted October 7, 2003 Yeah the shortcut never seems to work under XP (except I have it working for some ungodly reason) What you can do (and you'll need to look around for the code) is create a wsh script to create your RAS connection. I know it can be done as I have done it, but can't recall how! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaZoR Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 First let me ask a) why, and b) it can't be that important, else you would have broadband. a) because i want it to connect to the internet on startup b) it is broadband, its an adsl modem, xp sees it as a dial up adaptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted October 7, 2003 Subscriber² Share Posted October 7, 2003 I have an alcatel speed-tocuh ADSL modem, and have created the dial-up account myself (not using any dialer software). I create a shortcut to this in my startup and it works. This seems to be the case only for some users :( As I suggested, create your WSH script, this should work!

Axel Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 create a shortcut, put it in the startup folder in the start menu, make sure you change the properties of the connection so under the "options" tab the only thing out the for check boxes that is ticked is "display progress while connecting", unless u dont wanna see that so in that case just untick them all!!!!

YaZoR Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 no i'm sticking it in the bin! Of course I am!!! bloody hell read my second post!!! i know where the startup folder(s) is/are too. i've been using pc's since dos3.0. i just need an quick easy way to dial on startup. if i can't find a way i'll download some proggy. just thought someone might have a surefire way to do it without need of external programs. as windows will auto start a network connection, but no option to start a dial up.

dougkinzinger Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 i've been using pc's since dos 3.0 You've been using PC's since DOS 3.0 (3.3 more likely---3.0 wasn't a prominent release) and you didn't think of creating a shortcut and putting it in your Startup folder? I doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-=SD=- Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Couldn't you do the real simple thing of having a shortcut to a website in the start-up folder? (just make sure dial-up is set on auto-connect, possible cheap solution ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
