There is slightly more to it than that i'm afarid. Your thinking is on the right track however. I have read many entries like yours n this discussion group. Not having actually done this myself, my best advice is to have a search through the articles in the discussion group, since other people have posted similar queries. -----Original Message----- From: Narendra Sahoo [mailto:nnsk@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 09 April 2002 11:04 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Auto dialout backup and disconnection http://www.ISAserver.org Hi all, I am a newbie to ISA and have a problem. I would really appreciate any sort of help that u guys can provide. My setup is of a dual card with a direct DSL connection to the net. I have installed a modem for dial backup. I want the server to dial automatically to the net when the DSL connection is down and then automatically disconnect the modem connection when the DSL comes back online. I have enabled and configured the dialout entries. I did a manual dial out and the same works fine. I have enabled the "use dialup entry" under right click of network configuration. But the problem is that the server then dials out even when the DSL is on and then does not disconnect. I have enabled the idle time for disconnection under modem properties for 1 minute... but fact is that the connection is never idle due to the heavy usage and hence never hangs up... PLEASE HELP... Have a nice day Regards Naren ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: richard@xxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
