Ok the fact that your modem starts to dial suggests that you have entered the name of the connection correctly. However, what you should be entering for the username and password is the username and password that you got given when you signed up for internet access (with usadatanet or whoever provides you with internet access).

You can test the information and look at the error messages that your dialup produces by perhaps taking a step back and trying the following..

start > run > cmd

rasdial "exact name of your connection in quotes" username password

(replace "exact name of your connection in quotes" and username and password in the above line with what you entered in the script. The username and password in the above line are not in quotes, unlike the name of the connection)

If the information is entered correctly that should connect you to the internet. If not look at the error messages produced.

Once you've managed to get that command to work correctly, then return to your script and enter the correct information as outlined previously.

Hope this helps

Jon

  Hello Jon

  After monitoring the response of my TS running OE with the Script you have written for the group, I been noticing that, with close observation, that it is not running properly, what seems to happen is that it wakes my pc from standby mode, then runs the TS with the script but just as it attemps to connect to the internet it stops, I have detected this by watching it and with my external modem I can see it's activity and what is happening is, it attempts to dial then stops and my pc returns to standby mode. I have fiddled withnumerous combinations of TS settings for this task, before resorting to having to trouble with further solution, and nothing seems to give my guess would be that the script is doing what either the TS script or OE is already configured to do, but I know nothing about the way the script was written except for where you had asked me to place my IP address and password, whch I have succeeded. Would you at your next conveneice, have another look at the scrip? it would be greatly appreciated, and dreaded to think after coming this far with it that it turns out to be useless. Thanks for all you time, patience and continued support! Sincerely, Douglas Pounder Newport, RI
