Hi, I have to work on a lightweight dial up application for connecting to our company servers. Is there any link which talks about this kind of applications? What does it mean by RAS dialing capability? -- modified at 4:47 Wednesday 10th May, 2006

RAS means Remote Access Services. RAS lets you control the process of establishing a dial-up connection with another computer. Have a look at http://www.microsoft.com/mind/0698/ras/ras.asp[^] ;-) _AnShUmAn_

Thank you.. I will go through it. How to start working with dial up connection projects? Is dialup networking and dial up connection projects are one and the same? Can anybody shows me a link to study on the topic? -- modified at 5:19 Wednesday 10th May, 2006

Use the following APIs RasSetEntryProperties - to create a new connection in the RAS phonebook RasDial - to dial RasHangUp - to disconnect RasGetConnectStatus - to get the status of the ras connection. Also use this after a RasHangUp to see when your handle is closed, ie when windows really is finished with your ras connection. You do that by polling RasGetConnectStatus until it returns ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. RasDeleteEntry - to delete a phonebook entry created with RasSetEntryProperties Also note that the RAS Api is very much OS version dependant. You will see that when reading the docs for RasSetEntryProperties. I would recommend to go for minimum Win200 if you cant do that you will have much more work to do. The following RAS properties that you can set in the GUI has no function to set them. So if you really need to change them you need to update the ras phonebook file manually * Redial on link failure * DNS Suffix * MS client * MS File printer sharing * Hardware flow control * Connection speed Feel free to ask more questions if you like... Ive done a really heavy weight dialer :) Magnus
