Hello ppl.
I was just wondering, is there any script, or a command maybe in windows 2000, that dials an internet connection
(a VPN connection, ADSL) at startup?.. I couldn't find anything more than putting the dialer shortcut in the startup folder.

I dont know how to do it via a logon script, I think the way you have done it is probably the easiest, since windows will only conenct you as and when a connection is needed,but isnt your adsl "always on" anyway?

You could create your own logon script using group policy editor (gpedit.msc)
Local computer policy > Computer configuration > Administrative templates > System > Logon
<b>or</b>
Local computer policy > User configuration > Administrative templates > System > Logon

Say I have a batch file called <b>superScript.bat</b> that automates some tasks, and I want to do it on every system boot...
I will then use group policy editor and add the location of this script to Local computer policy > Computer configuration > Administrative templates > System > Logon > Run these programs at user logon, enable it > click on show > click on add > <b>C:\scripts\superScript.bat</b> > click OK

yes, thats a couple of ways to run a logon script, but how do you get a batch file/logon script to dial ?

That was just an example... you may simply specify the location of the .exe file or the shortcut (it is still considered as an logon script)
:)

aye, but thats not much different from dragging the connection into startup, what he has asking is how else to establish a connection without launching ie or the dun connection

I know it was an example, I forgot the "" :)
How do I make it execute the "link"?
I don't want to c the connection window at startup, that's what I have right now. I want it to connect aoutomatically.
