I am trying to write some little internet Win95 applications but I have
straight away hit a prob.
i.e.

How do you set up, monitor and manage normal dial-up connections with
Visual Basic 5 Pro?

Is there a control for it? I have been through tons of literature and can't
find anything on it.

Many thanks for any help

Michael Rudge

Hello Michael

I found This piece of code somewhere??

It will iniate a previously setup dial-up connection.

  Dim DialUp As Long
' Change the "VB-Garbage" to whatever connection
' you want to use...

    DialUp = Shell("rundll32.exe rnaui.dll,RnaDial " & "VB-Garbage", 1)
    SendKeys "{ENTER}"

good Luck
Kevin

That code will work.  However, how often will you know the name of the
user's dial-up networking connection name?
To enumerate all the dial-up connections and do other RAS stuff, there is a
sample from Microsoft on http://www.webczar.com/defcon/mh/VB32RAS.EXE

Are you looking for the Microsoft Comm control.  Just turn it on and
use it.

Turn it on in Project>Components.  Read the help to use it.

Is that what you need?  If not, post again.

I also require help.  The VB32RAS.EXE is a good help on most things, but the
phonenumber attribute seems not to work, and it requires a password and
username and will not automate beyond that as I can see.  The Microsoft Comm
control has no dial-up networking capabilities, and the rnaui.dll will not work
with NT4.0 due to dial-up being controlled by rasphone.exe.  If anyone can help
with another idea or can connect without any user intervention in passwords etc
using the vb32ras, I would greatly appreciate it.

May you find abundant life and grasp it with all you are.

Take a look at the RASDial control at http://www.coolstf.com. There is
a freeware version and a shareware version with more capabilities.
