I was hoping the .Connect method would initiate a dial-up connection (I am on dialup), or whatever connection method the user is on, but it simply fails. If a connection is not established, how is one initiated? Thanks for any suggestions and replies, Joe Back to top Robert Priestley Guest Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2003 4:57 pm    Post subject: Re: TIdSMTP Internet Connection Hi Joseph, You will need to use the windows RAS api, or easier still, get a free RAS component suite I would suggest AsyncPro from TurboPower available free at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpapro/ There are demo's and documentation available there also.

Indy is not designed for what you ask. It simply works with sockets. If there is no connection available, then WinSock fails to make connections, and there is nothing Indy can do about that. What you ask for is your own responsibility to manage separately. Some OSs allow DUN to be configured to establish a dial-up connection when an outgoing socket is needed. But that is a configuration issue, not a programmic one. Otherwise, just establish the connection manually, or use the RAS API to dial it programmably.

Joe Back to top Dany Rosseel Guest Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2003 10:28 am    Post subject: Re: TIdSMTP Internet Connection Hi, As far as i know it can not be done via Indy. I always use: if InternetAutoDial(INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_ONLINE + INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_UNATTENDED, 0) then... and InternetAutodialHangup(0); Both procedures can be found in the ShellAPI unit if i am not mistaking. kind regards, -- Vriendelijke groeten, Dany Rosseel E-mail: [email]dany_rosseel (AT) advalvas (DOT) be[/email] Web Site (home) : http://users.skynet.be/bk296578/Dro/ Web Site (Delphi): http://users.skynet.be/bk296578/Dro/Delphi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- "Joseph Misko" <josephNOJUNKmisko (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> schreef in bericht news:3fc775fd (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...
