80869 2002-09-19 01:49:00 Hi.
I am after a program similar to Dunce (which is for Win95) which will automatically connect to my isp. Dunce, amoung other things, lets you select a form and a button on that form, and presses it for you. This is particularly useful for pressing the "Connect" button on the DUN form.
However I am after something similar that will work in an XP environ.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Nigel.

You can also set connect automatically in your dialup connection and it will do it all for you.

With Internet Explorer open select Tools/Internet Options
Click on Connections tab at the top
Make sure your ISP is showing as the default.If not hilite and select set default
Make sure "always dial my default connection" has the dot in it.
Click Apply and OK

80871 2002-09-19 02:14:00 Thanks Jim, but the thing is, I'm relying on full DUN automation for a commercial program - and if for whatever reason a connection is not established then the DUN box will lose the "Automatically Connect" tick box.
I'm using logon scripts to bypass the need for passwords and usernames, but this one things remains a problem....

Have a look and see if there is anything useful at this Tucows site.
