How to automatically connect to web via DUN and detecting IP

[Guest]

I am writing an Compact Framework 2.0 application in C# for a CE 4.2 device.
I need to programmatically connect to the Internet via Dial Up Networking.
In the past I used the Connection Manager in eMbedded C++, however, I cannot
use this since it references cellcore.dll, which does not exist since it is a
PDA and not a cell phone. Is there a managed API I can call to
programmatically connect to the Internet. I know I can shell execute
"rnaapp.exe -eDUN", where DUN is the name of my Dial Up Networking
connection. However this is awkward since it prompts the user to click "OK"
to actually dial. I do not want the user to get prompted; I just want to
automatically connect.

Also, what managed function do I call to see what the current IP address is
of my CE device?
