RasDial with 2 ISDN Channels
Question:
I try to use rasDial to connect an existing ISDN RAS Connection (test), I get two channels the first time but only one channel the second time. If I do a manually connection I get two channels (128K) every time.The "Test" connection is configured for two channels! and I use Windows 2000 SP2
Script sample:
AddExtender("wwras34i.dll",1006)
Password = AskPassword("Password", "Enter valid password")
connectionhandle = rasDial("test","","",Password,0)
exit
Answer:
Not sure. The RasDial function simply dials the prexisting Ras entry. The RasDial function has no concept of 'channels'.I recommend checking the return value of RasDial. If its zero call RasGetLastErr to determine if any errors occur...
connectionhandle = rasDial(entryname,"","","",0)
if connectionhandle == 0
err = rasGetLastErr ()
message("Connection error",err)
exit
endif

Yes I know it’s why I get so confused. The script get me connected without errors but only with one channel instead of two when I do a manually connection. I really like to find a solution to my problem because we have over 200 computers running the dialer script. Do you know any other way to call an existing RAS connection? I want to thank you in advance for your solutionAnswer:
I think I tracked down the problem, in the following MS knowledge base article:
RasDial() Does Not Connect Dual Channels with Some ISDN Adapters
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;200531
Apparently...when you use the RasDial function to initiate a Remote Access Services (RAS) connection over an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) adapter, a connection to only one channel may be created (instead of a connection to two or more channels).
As a work around...use the Rasphone.exe command-line tool to call the Dial-Up Networking phonebook. For additional information about using Rasphone.exe, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
