MORE INFORMATION
To configure Dial-Up Networking to redial a phone number if no connection
is established or the connection is disrupted, follow these steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Accessories,
and then click Dial-Up Networking.
- On the Connections menu, click Settings.
- Click the Redial check box to select it.
- In the Before Giving Up Retry box, select the number of times you
want Dial-Up Networking to redial the phone number before giving up.
The default value is 1 and the maximum value is 100.
- In the Between Tries Wait boxes, select the number of minutes and
seconds you want Dial-Up Networking to wait between attempts to
connect. The default values are 0 minutes and 0 seconds, and the
maximum values are 119 minutes and 59 seconds.
- Click OK.
Note that the Redial feature does not function in conjunction with the
AutoDial feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you enable both
features and then attempt to connect to your Internet service provider by
double-clicking the Internet icon on the desktop, Dial-Up Networking does
not redial your Internet service provider if the connection is not
established. To use the Redial feature of Dial-Up Networking with Internet
Explorer, use the appropriate Dial-Up Networking connectoid to establish
the connection to your Internet service provider before starting Internet
Explorer. To do so, follow these steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and
then click Dial-Up Networking.
- Double-click the connectoid used to connect to your Internet service
provider, enter your user name and password, and then click Connect.
- After the connection to your Internet service provider has been
established, start Internet Explorer by double-clicking the Internet
icon on the desktop.
