Restart PC without lossing phone network connection

[Guest]

I am using Windows XP home edition, how can I restart my pc without lossing
my phone netowork connection? Or in the same sense, how can I reach, after a
restart, that the first activity of the pc be reconnect to the network?

Hi,

a) You can't. Cycling off removes power from the components, they must be
reinitialized on the restart.

b) You can't. The connection has many software/service dependencies that
must be in place before the connection can be initiated. Attempting to
connect prior to these events is pointless.

You Can't. The modem requires power and will therefore reset the device
and lose the connection when there is no power present.

There is a built-in utility for modern Windows NT (2k/XP[optional on
NT4) flavors called rasdial.exe that will dial specified network
connections from the command line. This is traditionally used for PPPoE
ethernet and RAS but I reckon it should be used for traditional DUN as
well.
The syntax is as follows:

Rasdial [connection name] "username" "password"

Where [connection name] is the name of the connection in your Network
Connections options.

ex.
rasdial CrapISP "jsmith" "12345"

Note the above has your password in plain text... and if you're ok with
that then it'll work for you.
A more secure alternative would be
rasdial CrapISP "jsmith" * <--which will prompt for a password

So. create a batch file or standard text file (which will later be
given the extension .bat)
and type the following:

rasdial CrapISP jsmith 12345
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
exit

Save it.
Now place that saved file in your startup folder and it will dial your
ISP and once connected open an Internet Explorer window every time
windows starts.

If you need help creating batch files or have never heard of them in
the first place go here:

alas the glory days of batch files has passed us...but my god were they
grand!..

hope it helps...

I am installing a new program who uses passwords throught the network and the
complete installation is perform after a restart action, what I really want
to do is reconnect the RAS network before the new program try to continue the
installation due to it needs it. It the new program does not find network the
installation is not complete. Does the procedure you describe can run before
the rest of the new program installation?
