I moved from england to russia,,, long story,,,

I dunow any other prog language then ahk ....

well, things here are some what unproffessional....

i've got internet, but it's not like your get your own line, ie adsl, its like whole bunch of pc's are connected to a win 2003 server, (guys come by and pull a cable to your flat)....
the net cable goes right into the pc, they configure a VPN and voala, i have internet...

the thing is, It disconects every 20 minutes or so,, russia, what do you expect...

and i have to go to the desctop click the short cut to connect to the vpn,,
i then get taht dail connectoin window, i have to click connect... it dails, varifies username and pass, and i've got internet .....agian......


I wana get it to connect by hot key...

I need to find a way to open that connect window, then i can send an "enter" which presses the connect button...


i dunow how to "run" a connection.i.e MDtelecom/.. the shortcut properties say that the target is.
{BA126AD7-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E}, Network Connections
I tried tor run, the above, no luck,,,,

I tried to get the shortcut target by
FileGetShortcut, MDtelecom.lnk, OutTarget, OutDir,
but the parameters come out blank....

tick box "re-dail connection if line is dropped" doesn't seem to work for some reason, it just looses connection and doesn't recconect......


help would be much apprechiated...

You may try NirCmd.exe, a small command-line tool, like:

Worked great ... at least for the first couple of tries....
ie. i used

f1::Run, nircmd.exe rasdial "MDtelecom"
f2::run, nircmd.exe rashangup "MDtelecom"

BUT!!!!!
some times it fails to dail the connection..
so i usualy cancle it, and retry later,,,
with the lil app, it hangs, and i can't cancle it (as there is no dialoge) so i have to restart the pc... not so time saving......

mmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, any ideas boys???
