Open internet connection

Is there an easy way to open my connection to the internet using VB code? I have a default dial-up connection, but am not sure how to start it.

Also, is there a way to check to see if I am already connected before trying to establish the connection?

I want to make a prog that makes a connection, opens an internet site, and then closes the connection at certain intervals even if Im not there. But I dont want it to disconnect me if I am currently using the connection (i.e. the connection was already made before the program started).

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks,

Hi Seaweed.

I've been trying to figure out how to do this too:

I don't have a solution for this. I put this post here so that I will get an email when someone does figure it out.

All the best.

Hi Seaweed.

Rapmaster's reply gives a link that shows how to establish a dial-up connection.

For your second question (checking to see if a PC is already connected), check out this thread:
