Hi,

I'd like to use RASDIAL for automatic dial-up Internet connection. I've
checked KB article
http://technet2.microsoft.com/window....mspx?mfr=true
but regarding this text I cannot establish automatic connection.

RASDIAL says
rasdialConnectionName [UserName [{Password | *}]] [/domainomain]
[/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.pb k"
Does it contain the entry "SmithTest"?
5. Run this command:
rasdial SmithTest {UserName} {Password}
/phonebook:"%AllUsersProfile%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pb k"
