SUMMARY

This article describes how to start a Dial-Up Networking connection using a command line in Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION

To start a Dial-Up Networking connection using a command line, use the following syntax


   rundll rnaui.dll,RnaDial <connectoid>

where <connectoid> is the name of the connection you want to start.

For example, to start a connection named "My Connection," use the following command line:


   rundll rnaui.dll,RnaDial My Connection

You can use this command line in an MS-DOS session, or by clicking the Start button, clicking Run, and then typing the line in the Open box.

Notes

The RnaDial and <connectoid> components of the command line are case sensitive, and the location of spaces and commas is critical.

Although you can start a Dial-Up Networking connection using a command line, you cannot start the Dial-Up Networking Server using a command line.
