How to run the scheduled dialup

[Joy]

I have setup the dialup program on my W2K server. If I
double click it launches the dialer and connects remote
computer successfully. Now, I have put this dialer in the
scheduler to run ever hour. But it is unable to launch.
Even if I right click and click run, the job is not
starting. But if I double clcik the icon from my desktop
it runs successfuly. Where is the catch?

when you do a view -> details from the Scheduled Tasks Console,
what does it say under "status" for your job?

Also check Advanced -> View Log and see what that says about
the task.

Between the two of those, you should learn something about what
is causing the task to fail.
