Guest chu2ch@gmail.com Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Good Day, I have set up a 2k3 SBS and i am wondering, is there a way to set up a dial up connection on the server to only connect to the internet when internet resources are requested from client computers? ie. When a user opens a browser on their PC, the server will then dial up to the internet, and when the user is finished ( or all users are finished) the dial up connection will be dropped. Unfortunately we do have to use dial up connection as our area isn't served with high speed internet as of yet. I thank you for your responses. Sincerely, Chris Nickel

I haevnt try this before but I think after you have setup that, and when your clients request for HTTP, the server should auto connect. however the user might be requesting a few times out b4 they are actually shown the page (due to the time needed to connect to the internet). Also be aware that some of the server apps might try to connect to the internet to download/upload data. -- Jabez Gan [MVP] Microsoft MVP: Windows Server http://www.blizhosting.com MSBLOG: http://www.msblog.org <chu2ch@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1186842183.919097.155920@j4g2000prf.googlegroups.com... > Good Day, > > I have set up a 2k3 SBS and i am wondering, is there a way to set up a > dial up connection on the server to only connect to the internet when > internet resources are requested from client computers? ie.

And sadly, after i set up the internet connection, using the wizard. the Modem dials in and stays dialed in. Does anyone have any experience setting up a pure dial up connection in windows 2k3 sbs standard. and setting the connection up so it will only connect when an internet resource is required, ie. exchange server is checking for pop email or when an internet page is requested from a client? Which brings me to another question... When the server is connected to the internet via dial up, how do i set up my server/clients so that the clients will use the internet access of the server to display websites? Thanks in advance for your help. Chris.
