Is there a way to do this? Maybe some Registry entries or something?

[Thanatos]

Tough one, you'd have to do it with a .ins (internet connection settings) file. Maybe google has the answer

[Aaron]

I once tried to install a dialup *.ins file throught winnt.sif, but it didn't work. Although I didn't have a modem on the test PC it could explain why, it probably needs an installed modem to be able to import the dialup settings.

[flattspott]

Well that's too much of a hassel then. I just have it copy a text file with all the settings to set it up manually.

Dial-up connections settings are located in the Remote Access Phonebook (Rasphone.pbk) at %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk.

Just backup Rasphone.pbk and restore it during unattended setup.

hmm, the username and passwords are not stored in this phonebook?

Unfortunately only passwords are not stored. Anyway I use rasdial command in a batch file where I have stored username and password:

rasdial "myconnection" "username" "password"

makes sense...
i'll try it right now

[ahmedramzi]

shall i just write this to my cmd file:
COPY "%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\rasphone.pbk" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\pbk"

that's it?

Yep

I'd sure like to see the contents of your rasphone.pbk.
I need to configure XP to dial up on an unattended machine.
Do I need a RAS account somewhere (I see the rasdial example) or can you tell me how to automatically dial into my "normal" ISP?

%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\ = %allusersprofile%

here is a shortcut....from a CMD promt type SET to see settings

[jps]

Can anyone please point me to information necessary to configure XP so that running any program requiring network access will result in a hands-free dialup (un-attended machine in very remote location)?

Alternatively I want to programmatically perform a dialup and establish a network connection prior to running programs that require such connection (on the same un-attended machine).

I think this must be pretty easy, but I have not been able to find the answers after much googling, etc.

Thx just looking to make that unattended

Does this work? Somebody tried it to set username and password?

I found that freeware utility NIRCMD can do similar things (and much more).

yes it easy

I'm on cable so I don't have the installer any more but what I did was search the net for a isp that had an installer and I changed it to dial my ISP...

here it is I got lucky

unzip the file it has you download and everything you need is inside
just change the stuff to your ISP...

add this to the registry too
