I have a modem on out NT server that provides internet access across our small lan. I am after a command or something i can work into a batch file or similar so I can "AT schedule" connect and disconnect times to the Internet. Can anyone make any suggestions either using this method or another? Much appreciated, Jason

Ive used TweakDUN in the past on 95/98 it does just what your after - it should be compatable with NT... it basically runs a dialup networking session you choose, at what time you want, waits and disconnects after when you specify it can then run up to four programs if your email client is set to check every minute and on startup - combining the two will give you 'auto dial and retrieve' mail functionality else - check out wingate - its a proxy server I have running on NT 4 SP5 - all the pc's refer to the NT Server's Internal IP address and wingate routes it out to 'connected session's ip address' - it starts as a service and dials on its own, it can be set to hang up and wait till a proxy request is next made before 'dialing up agian' if time is an issue (ie not a permanent connection) very good bit of kit

If I remenber it well. You can use the command line DIALER. With it you can dial/hangup a connection. Then Schedule it with the task scheduler

RASDIAL is the NT command to be used from a commandline / bat-file
