Connect 2 Internet at startup

[BoJl4apa]

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

ok, that is clear, but what do I write in the superscript.bat?

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.
