Adding ADSL Connection to Services
Hi! I have a small webserver running on Win2k with a 512K ADSL connection as my pipe. Everything runs fine (www, ftp, mail, terminal services, DNS etc...) there's just one little thing that keeps on bugging me (a lot). I sometimes administer my computer from work when it's quiet with M$ Terminal Services (updates, install/remove programs, you know, the stuff I would rather not do when I'm physically in front of my machine, in a way, I get paid good money to administer my home server  ). The BIG problem is that I sometimes need to reboot. Rebooting itself is not the problem. I start getting problems when I try to login after a reboot  . You see, my ADSL connection requires a user/pass to connect. I installed the RASPPPoE protocol and unchecked the "prompt for usr/pass" checkbox in the options, but that does not solve my problem. I need www connectivity when I boot the machine, not when I login. Basically, there just has to be a way to startup my ADSL connection as a system service... I hope... or else I'll have to get a cable modem and the only provider available here just plain sucks...  Please help...
