RasDial vs RasDialDlg

[Bill Baker]

I'm need to connect and disconnect from the Internet using a VPN defined in a RAS Phone book entry, Note the entry does include a Script file. RasDial doesn't work, while RasDialDlg does! The process needs to be totally automated with no human interaction, so RasDialDlg is not an option. Any one have a idea what the difference between the two are?

Hi,
This may not answer all your questions- but:

RasDial works on Win 95/98 and NT.
RasDialDlg is only for NT.

I assume that if RasDialDlg works for you then you are running NT.
I run Win98 and use RasDial.
If more than one Dialup entry is configured then you may have to give the user an option selection dialogbox or at least give the user the facility to choose which entry they want to use as default
and save thet in the registry.

I think you will have a bit of a problem making this truly automated
because of passwords and possible multiple Dialup entries.
