How to specify the access number to dial?

[sebex]

I am using the following code to dialup however I would like to be able to specify the number to dial programatically. Is this possible? I've searched msdn.

Private Sub DialUp()
        Dim DResult As Long
        DResult = InternetDial(0, "My Connection", DialUpOptions.INTERNET_DIAL_UNATTENDED, mlConnection, 0)
 
        If (DResult = ERROR_SUCCESS) Then
            Me.Text = "Dialup connected successfully"
        Else
            Me.Text = "Dialup unsuccessful"
        End If
    End Sub

Right now I have to specify the number manually via Windows XP Dial Up Networking. I would like to be able to specify the number at runtime.

Can it be changed within the registry?

Hey,

As far as I can see, you would have a number of connections established on your machine, and you would pass in the name of the connection that you wanted to use.

I am aware of this code. I am aware that I can specify a number within Windows Dialup networking.

However, I need to be able to specify or change the number to dial within the application. I am aware that I can change it manually.

Windows Networking wasn't really designed to be application specific so I'm not aware of any code that can do that. I think what you should do is look into creating the connection within dial-up networking. The MSN web browser does exatly this; it creates a connection in Windows' dial-up networking section then uses it to connect.

Not sure if that really helps though, heh...

Is there any way I can dial and connect to the internet any other way? For example can I do something with the com port?

sure you could dial the modem, but how would you then switch the connection to the systems networking software.

however. look on the internet for the dos commands
