How to reconnect automatically if disconnected under Windows OS.
It is common knowledge that Internet users who connect by dialing into their isp, often get disconnected after a few hours. Windows can be configured to reconnect automatically upon disconnection, but it usually does so only when an application tries to access the Internet. Also, this feature in Windows will only redial 99 times before giving up. I needed a program that will keep redialing indefinitely until reconnected. For this I downloaded a small 200K freeware from download.com called CiDial. Before that, I tried DUNCE, but it didn't meet my expectation. CiDial does not create or change any registry entries and does not create or change any files outside of the directory it is run from. Installing and running it will not change your Windows setup. CiDial is not an adware program. You should turn off Window's auto connect feature, it will compete with CiDial. Open "Internet Options" in the Control Panel and check "Never dial a connection" on the "Connections" tab. |
