Guest Smith Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Hi, I'd like to use RASDIAL for automatic dial-up Internet connection. I've checked KB article http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/24d5d8bf-fe87-498c-b485-7c249affcc721033.mspx?mfr=true but regarding this text I cannot establish automatic connection. RASDIAL says rasdialConnectionName [userName [{Password | *}]] [/domain:Domain] [/phone:PhoneNumber] I tried to use: rasdial CONNECTION_NAME username [{password}] but there was an error message "Remote access error 691, username or password is invalid" I'm 100% sure that username and password are correct (tried with manual dial-up connection), so definitely I missed RASDIAL syntax. Please help. Thnx.

Try this: 1. Create a dial-up connection via the Control Panel / Network Connections. Call it "SmithTest". 2. Test it. 3. Open a Command Prompt. 4. Use notepad to examine this file: "%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk" Does it contain the entry "SmithTest"? 5. Run this command: rasdial SmithTest {UserName} {Password} /phonebook:"%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk"
