Website? Its a direct download.. All it is.. is the update to your DUN version 1.4 this way when you install it you see where it goes so you know what the program is exaclty called and where it went,? :-)

Guess I should have made it a little clearer.. The file is the DUN update 1.4 it is just being downloaded from NAU's site thats all

The installer was? too fast but what I did observe was that a lot of different files mostly dll's) were placed in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. These were some of the exe files (rundll rnaui.dll,RnaDial etc.)

(1 hour later)

Okay, thanks for your patience.

I have created batch files containing only one line. These are the various options I tried;

C:\Windows\Desktop\Sprint.DUN

rundll rnaui.dll,RnaDial Sprint.DUN

rundll rnaui.dll,RnaDial C:\Windows\Desktop\Sprint.DUN

... none of which worked. :mad:

However ... what I did find is that if I go to my Start Menu/Run and enter? C:\Windows\Desktop\Sprint.DUN? ... it will dial my ISP and connect!!!

Now ... what can I put in a batch file to represent the "run" command?

I have tried:

rundll.exe C:\Windows\Desktop\Sprint.DUN ... and
rundll32.exe C:\Windows\Desktop\Sprint.DUN

... neither of which worked (sigh)? Any ideas?

RnaDial.exe on its own doesn't work. I also tried;

The following commands can be used to start and open a connection:

? ? ? ? START RUNDLL32 RNAUI.DLL,RnaDial C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\SPRINT.DUN TRACERT -h 1 -w 1
The RUNDLL command starts DUN, the TRACERT command will actually start the dialing process


(See my previous post on this method)

Well looks like it dont want to run in a bacth file :-D

Last thing I can think of is right click the desktop click on new...shortcut...then type in RnaDial exact name of dialer entry TRACERT -h 1 -w 1 the way it needs to be written,

Also try renaming the Shortcut on the DUN file to .exe extension.

NEARLY THERE!!!!!!? :-D

Thanks to Rollin' Rog at? http://forums.techguy.org/showthread...35#post2875135? ?who discovered that the *.DUN extention must NOT be included in the command line!

I have now solved 99% of the problem as follows;

1. I have created a batch file with the following lines;

cd c:\windows\desktop
rundll rnaui.dll,RnaDial Sprint


2. Clicking on this batchfile will open a DOS window and launch the Windows dialer (but it will not start dialing until the "OK" button is pressed.)

3. I have always used a small systray program called "Rtevco" (http://www.demon.co.uk/rtvsoft) which is an automatic "button-pusher" set to press the "OK" button so that dialing can commence without any input from the user. This solves the problem of the "connect to" box requiring user action"

4. Dialing completes and the connection is made

BUT

THE DOS WINDOW REMAINS OPEN! :

What command should I put in the batch file to close this window? ... or is there another way to close it?

To close it you would have to put EXIT in the end
