Re: Connect to VPN from command line?

Here is what I quoted in my first reply for the rasdial syntax:

USAGE:
rasdial entryname [username [password|*]] [/DOMAIN:domain]
[/PHONE:phonenumber] [/CALLBACK:callbacknumber]
[/PHONEBOOK:phonebookfile] [/PREFIXSUFFIX]

rasdial [entryname] /DISCONNECT

Unless I'm seeing things, it has both the user name and the password
as a parameter. The phonebook is there too!

Yes, the phone book is an INI file with lots of info about the
connection. The username and passwrod are not there and I don't see
how knowing what is in the pbk file helps with the original problem..
how do I actually dial the vpn connection without putting username and
password in the command line?

As I said I can run rasdial and get different error messages depending
on whether I specify the "all" vs "personal" phonebook (the connection
info is in the all phonebook) but I can't get it to connect without
specifying username and password in the command line (even though it
is stored with the connection--although obviously not in the pbk
file).

Thanks,

Sam

You must first create the connection from the interactive
facility within Control Panel / Network Connections.
After you do, have a look in the phone book. It's a text
file and you can open it with any text editor. Be a little
inquisitive!
