I have just began searching for an answer to a question that has bugged me for some time now. My ISP is time share based and I was wondering if their were any way to auto disconnect after a certain period of time or automatically when my downloads completed. For example, I want to download a 10 meg. file before I go to bed, and it tells me I have 1 hr. and 15 min. to complete the download. I don't want to have to wait for the download to complete before I go to bed or waste my hours while I sleep. I just want to disconnect after say an hour and a half or when the download is completed. How would I go about writing doing so? Any help and feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

You could make a label and when the Label hits a certain time, than disconnect. Here is the code:
Code:
Public Const RAS_MAXENTRYNAME As Integer = 256
Public Const RAS_MAXDEVICETYPE As Integer = 16
Public Const RAS_MAXDEVICENAME As Integer = 128
Public Const RAS_RASCONNSIZE As Integer = 412
Public Const ERROR_SUCCESS = 0&
Public Type RasEntryName
dwSize As Long
szEntryName(RAS_MAXENTRYNAME) As Byte
End Type
Public Type RasConn
dwSize As Long
hRasConn As Long
szEntryName(RAS_MAXENTRYNAME) As Byte
szDeviceType(RAS_MAXDEVICETYPE) As Byte
szDeviceName(RAS_MAXDEVICENAME) As Byte
End Type
Public Declare Function RasEnumConnections Lib _
"rasapi32.dll" Alias "RasEnumConnectionsA" (lpRasConn As _
Any, lpcb As Long, lpcConnections As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function RasHangUp Lib "rasapi32.dll" Alias _
"RasHangUpA" (ByVal hRasConn As Long) As Long
Public gstrISPName As String
Public ReturnCode As Long
Public Sub HangUp()
Dim i As Long
Dim lpRasConn(255) As RasConn
Dim lpcb As Long
Dim lpcConnections As Long
Dim hRasConn As Long
lpRasConn(0).dwSize = RAS_RASCONNSIZE
lpcb = RAS_MAXENTRYNAME * lpRasConn(0).dwSize
lpcConnections = 0
ReturnCode = RasEnumConnections(lpRasConn(0), lpcb, _
lpcConnections)
If ReturnCode = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
For i = 0 To lpcConnections - 1
If Trim(ByteToString(lpRasConn(i).szEntryName)) _
= Trim(gstrISPName) Then
hRasConn = lpRasConn(i).hRasConn
ReturnCode = RasHangUp(ByVal hRasConn)
End If
Next i
End If
End Sub
Public Function ByteToString(bytString() As Byte) As String
Dim i As Integer
ByteToString = ""
i = 0
While bytString(i) = 0&
ByteToString = ByteToString & Chr(bytString(i))
i = i + 1
Wend
End Function
Usage:
Call HangUp

Thanks Matthew,
I really appreciate the help.
