Windows 2000 Dialup Connection Auto-dial and Auto-disconnect 3 Times a Day How can I schedule auto-dial and auto-disconnect 3 times daily for durations of 10 minutes each in Windows 2000 Advanced Server? Kindly give me step-by-step instead of a generic answer. I know how to create a dialup connection, but I want to setup to dial automatically, disconnect after duration in my absence and without any human involvement? The purpose of this question is that I got two different locations with two different Windows Servers having SQL Server 2000 data replication setup to replicate data 3 times a day automatically without any human interaction. A way to solve this issue was to simply have a LIVE telephone dialup connection, but since the phone lines of Pakistan are not so reliable, hence, it is not possible. Another way is having VSAT satellite data connection, which is too expensive for my client to afford. That is why I opted for setting up a schedule for this telephone dialup connection to automatically dialup and automatically disconnect 3 times a day with 10 minutes each duration. I tried all Windows help, and other forums about the same question without any success. Can you help me with this common-sense and probably easy solution to dialup and disconnect 3 times a day with 10 minutes durations each automatically? I would be really thankful for your kind help.

If Windows 2000 comes with radial, you could add a Scheduled Task for rasdial. Information: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/closeras.htm http://windowsxp.mvps.org/rasdial.htm Good luck
