hmm i have a dsl service and i want it to auto dial to my isp without logging into my win2k advance server. is it possible ?
let me give little back ground
i have web,ftp, mp3 server and terminal services and i cannot use them un till i am connected to internet (right now i login and lock my comp)but if i want to reboot my system remotely i can't. and i can't even ask my roommate to reboot it for me as they will have to login and that liberty i don't want to give to them :)
only thing which comes to my mind is to run it as a service but how to add or make a service no idea ! any help or idea will really be appreciated

If your dsl provider uses Enternet you can do this through the Control Panel icon for Enternet. Open the PPPoE Service item, select your profile and then check "SubService loads when PPPoE Service starts". Now you will connect everytime the system starts and the PPPoE service starts. If your provider is using something other than Enternet's PPPoE look through your documentation for using it as a service on W2K.

Enjoy,
