Hi,

Im trying to make a program that can connect the default internet connection when ever it detects that no internet connection is present.
It also need a way to detect a connect thats still connected but it dead.

So far I have managed to check if its online by using vdsinet.dll and the http command. It gets the header info from a site like google and if it is sucessful then its online.

Now my problem, I cant seem to find a way to dial the default connection or detect a dead one.

Also the program and dlls must work under XP.
Is there an api command for dialing default connections or some other non dll way?

Thank you

I don't know, but if you do decide to use a DLL you can use the VDSRAS.DLL Smile

You can use the RasDial API function in kernel32.dll.
You can also get much more information on related functions too - refer W32.hlp file.If U dont have one refer the resources section of this forum.

Just to inform you - it's going to be a little difficult unless U have worked with API's in VDS before or atleast in VB (things are similar to an extent).

If i get time i might write an example.
