Change and Open the Properties for a Particular Dialup Connectioid 

Keywords: 	 open the properties for a particular dialup connectioid

Question:

  1. In Win 95, I can create the connectoid for Dial-up networking but when I connect using it, the system tries to login to the network. I need a way to modify the properties under the Server Type tab of the Dial-up connection.

  2. I can't figure out how to open the dial-up networking window let alone how to highlight the correct connectoid.

Answer:

  1. I use the code below to create the dial-up network connectoid. I looked in the registry but did not find anything referring to the Server Type settings. I could use the sendkeysto commands to make the changes but I can not figure out how to get to the properties page of a dial-up connector. 
    Run("rundll32.exe"," rnaui.dll,RnaWizard")
WinWaitExist("Welcome to",2)
SendKeysTo("Welcome to","!n") 

SendKeysTo("Make New Connection",ConnName)
SendKeysTo("Make New Connection","!n")
SendKeysTo("Make New Connection",AreaCode)
SendKeysTo("Make New Connection","{tab}")
SendKeysTo("Make New Connection",Number)
SendKeysTo("Make New Connection","!n")
SendKeysTo("Make New Connection","{enter}")
  2. Running dialup networking: 
    Run("explorer.exe","::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{992CFFA0-F5 57-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48}")

  3. To open the properties for a particular dialup connectoid, I have found that a combination of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Addresses[Connection Name] and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Profiles[Connection Name] contain all of the settings of the dialog boxes in a bitmapped format.

    For example, to turn on the 'logon to Network' checkbox it is:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Addresses[Connection Name] position 54.

    The valid values are EC = Logon, E8 = Deselect 'Logon to network'.

    Under profiles, all of the TCP/IP settings are also bitmapped. Get this, there are in semi reverse order. Values are Hex. 

    ;Ask MicroSoft why the positions are in REVERSE
Poct1 = ('24') ;Primary WIN Octet 1 position
Poct2 = ('23') ;Primary WIN Octet 2 position
Poct3 = ('22') ;Primary WIN Octet 3 position
Poct4 = ('21') ;Primary WIN Octet 4 position
Soct1 = ('28') ;Secondary WIN Octet 1 position
Soct2 = ('27') ;Secondary WIN Octet 2 position
Soct3 = ('26') ;Secondary WIN Octet 3 position
Soct4 = ('25') ;Secondary WIN Octet 4 position
    In other words, the primary WINS Address is positions 24,23,22,21, the secondary is: 28,27,26,25. Additionally the Secondary DNS would be 20,19,18,17. primary would be 16,15,14,13

    For others, use regmon and put in values like 1.2.3.4 and 5.6.7.8 and then find them (in reverse order)
