Snippet from an old ng post of mine:
[first create dun then drag shortcut to it to another folder in which you should create the following batch file.]
#####
START RASDIAL.EXE <connection_name> <user_name> <password>
eg START RASDIAL.EXE UK2 UK2 UK2
(Obviously, change parameters as appropriate.)
That's it.
Note: I tried various other methods which didn't work, for instance typing "RASDIAL.EXE UK2 UK2 UK2 at the command prompt gives an error (I guess that having the .lnk in the same dir as the batch file helps). Also, you must (or certainly I had to) specify the username and password, otherwise (with nimble fingers and Alt-Print Screen) you will see that you get a 691 authentication error.
Also had a quick look at RASPHONE.EXE
See netcfg.chm for fuller details.
If you are using Win98 something like:
START RUNDLL32 RNAUI.DLL,RnaDial <exact name of dialer entry>
TRACERT -h 1 -w 1
is supposed to work (see google).
