Hi all
I have a few computers that connect via rasdial to a bridged modem. They are dropping off randomly and frequently enough that its a pain to have to reset them manually everytime.
Does anyone know how I could write a script or something that would check for internet connectivity and if there is none then it would re dial the pppoe connection?
Thanks

If anyone is curious. This is how I solved the issue.
Friend of mine wrote a basic Powershell script:
$site = "Kelly-PC"
$wait = 60
$nl = [Environment]::NewLine
While ($TRUE)
{
if(!(Test-Connection -computer $site -count 1 -quiet))
{
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red -NoNewline "Connection Down...$nl"
rasdial attdsl user@att.net password
}
else
{
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green -NoNewline "Connection Up...$nl"
Start-Sleep -Seconds $wait
}
}
$site is the name of the computer
$wait is the time in seconds before next test
and the "rasdial attdsl user@att.net password" line dials my pppoe connection called attdsl with the specified user and password when no connection is available.
