| 121345 | 2003-02-14 22:35:00 | How do you configure Windows XP so it will dial up my internet connection when another application (In this case Filemaker Pro) asks for it. I've turned off XP firewall as I thought this might be hindering things but still no go. | rocktap (2759) | ||

| 121347 | 2003-02-15 00:13:00 | I quite agree tweak'e, I don't know why people get so concerned with autodial. It is much more reliable to establish a connection manually and not really any inconvenience. I never use it either, I connect manually and when I can see I am connected I then use the program I want. This way if the connection fails you get a useful error message not some obscure message relating to web or email problems. |

| 121348 | 2003-02-15 02:55:00 | Gidday, Your internet options may need configuring slightly, go to Control panel, click 'network and internet connections', Click 'internet options', then the connections tab. Put a dot in 'always dial my default connection' click apply and ok. Opening the program you want should cause it to dial automatically, as long as your user name, and password are saved on the dialup interface. cheers, Robby |
