Can anyone tell me if they have experienced problems with the VDSXRAS.dll extension in VDS 5 and whether they have solved them.
My script seems to do nothing once I get to the RAS command.

Is there a better way to establish a Dialup Networking call through VDS 5

Here is my script:
:Dialup
parse %U;%P,@ras(params,@dlgtext(Connection),UP))
%%Dial = @ITEM(Connection)
Dialog Set,Status3,Dialing...
ras dial,%%Dial,%U,%P
if @ok()
dialog set,status3,Connected
Goto Login
else
dialog set,status3,Failed
end
goto hevloop

Cheers
Andy F
Surprised

I think he wanted his post to be visible - we should allow stickies for a day or so, but not let "normal" posts stay stickies for more than that. Smile

Hi Andy
You can take a look at this DSU for VDS 5 that I made sometime ago.

Hi CodeScript, I tried the DSU last light and it works fine. infact really great.

Only thing is that when it detects no connection to the internet and then connects using default dialup connection, it is visable on screen rather. The VDSXRAS.dll did this in the background. Is there any way to make the Dialup run hidden, I mean something a little tidier than Window Hide Question

It is possible to do that but requires different APIs and is much more complex to do in plain VDS. I did this one since it sufficed my requirement - and also I thought it better to have the user acknowldege that a internet connection is being established.
