Networking windows general
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
This is not at all qt related (apart from the fact that I probably
wouldn't dream trying to port my app to windows), but I'm sure someone
on the list can tell me this and give me some pointers.
My question is rather simple: "How does windows' dial up networking
work? Do I need to tell windows to start dialling out for a connection,
or will windows dial out by itself when it detects outbound (tcp) traffic?
Rob.

Windows will do it automatically when you try to open a client socket.

Hi,
I think the easiest way is to get one of this wonderful autodialers that
spread in the last weeks especially here in Germany and which connect you to
horrible expensive numbers ;-)
No, to be serious: This is a setting that can be set in the internet setup
configuration. When set to autoconnect, it will dial automatically - with
eventually prompting for a password if you didn't set it - , if not your
request to connect will time out with something like 'host not found'. Maybe
there are some more options for the configuration I don't know of, I stoppped
using Win for dialup a couple of years ago.
greetings,
P.J.
