Hi all,

XP Pro systems, (SP3+ latest), trying to get them to establish their dialup
connections before a user logs on. This is basically so that if a system
gets restarted remotely, it'll power up and re-connect via dialup so I can
remote back in. Don't ask why it's dialup, I wish it were't

I've set up a dialup connection icon in Windows that autodials and connects
without prompts once run, so if I stick it in the Startup group it'll
effectively connect to the Internet without interaction.

However this needs to be done before logon, so I tried the Scheduled Tasks
thing and specified it run When My Computer Starts but that doesn't happen,
no sound from the modem or anything.

Unfortunately, I don't have the option of having Windows auto-login with a
default username/pw or this would be my workaround using the dialup icon in
the Startup group.

Any suggestions? I had tried putting the path to the Dialup icon in the Run
keys (HKLM) but nothing happened - I'm not very well versed on manipulating
loadpoints in XP.

Thanks anybody.
