Opera and dialup networking

[Ant -|- One 0]

How could I manage to automate starting Opera browser (5.11)and open my connection ? Opera does not ask to open the connection and tells "distant server not found". The connection has to be opened for the browser to work online ? Any trick ? I don't want to bother opening the connection and then start Opera which I most appreciate !

Thanks a lot !

What you could do is create a batch file that will dial your ISP, start Opera, then disconnect from your ISP when you shutdown Opera.

 

Something like this:

 

@ECHO OFF

RASPHONE -d "your_ISP_goes_here"

CD \Program Files\Opera

START /MAX /WAIT Opera.exe

RASDIAL "your_ISP_goes_here" /disconnect

EXIT
