Okay I'm sorry to clarify the configuration -- I'm using W2K and have setup the VPN connection within 'My Network Places'. I used the default value and it works fine if I connect it manually.
Here is what I try to accomplish -- Back to the old day of using phone line access, I can set it up so I can get the Internet connection when I need it or when the Windows was booted up. But now I got always-on connection to the Internet. I wonder how I can make W2K to automatically dial my VPN conectionid? Thanks. > Whose VPN product are you using?
