How can i go online from PB ?

Post by TeddyLM »

Hello there,

I've seen a lot of examples about sending and receiving mails in this forum. I tried all of them, but they only work if i am 'online' !
Wenn i start IE i must enter my Username and Password to go online. How can i do the same within my PB-Applications ?
I don't know much about Network... some help would be appreciated.

Thanx

May the force be with you

Hi Teddy,

If you use remote access to connect (via dialup modem),
then you can use the RAS functions from the Windows API.

There is also another alternative, if you go to your control panel, open up Internet Options. Select the "Connections" tab and highlight your internet connection in the list, click on the button "Set Default".

Finally click on "Dial whenever a network connection is not present"
or "Always dial my default connection" if you prefer.

This should automatically dial to your ISP if a network connection is requested such as connecting to a website or any other running internet application requiring a connection.

AngelSoul, that is a good response and what you suggest is absolutely
required in order to access from PB easily.

I was about to respond similarly.

Let me add that some ISPs have the user install a proprietary dialer that
does not create an entry in the Dialup Networking (RAS), and in that
case, sometimes there is not an entry to be chosen as the default entry.

If that is the case, then go to Control Panel, Dialup Networking, and
create an entry with the proper information and then follow the advice
given by AngelSoul above.

TerryHough,

You're quite right, i work at an ISP and to establish a DSL connection it requires a third-party software that is not related with RAS and it is quite annoying to say the least. Long live raspppoe :)
