I got a static IP PPPoE connection from my ISP provider, and I am running a VNC server on it, and needs to connect a PPPoE connection on boot.

Is there a solution to that?

Follow these steps:

  1. Go to Start menu and type in the search field ncpa.cpl and hit enter
  2. Right click your PPPoE Internet Connection and select Properties
  3. Go to Options tab and uncheck Prompt for name and password, certificate, etc., and set Redial attempts to as many as you want, and also set Time between redial attempts to, say, 3 seconds and then click OK

Make sure your PPPoE connection is set to Default by going to Control Panel->Network and Sharing Center->Change Adapter Settings and right-clicking on this internet connection and selecting Set as Default Connection

Now, type in the start menu search field inetcpl.cpl and hit enter and go to Connections tab.

  • Select your PPPoE connection
  • Select Dial whenever a network connection is not present.
  • Click Set default if button is active and click OK.

Now, just log off and and log in. The connection should be dialed automatically.

EDIT: Right-click on All Programs in Start menu and click Open. Now, open Programs folder and double-click on Startup folder. Type in ncpa.cpl in Start menu search field and hit enter. Just drag-and-drop your pppoes internet connection into this Startup folder. Do log-off, log-in.

  • It seems to do nothing on boot, I doesn't even connect on login. Is there a script or startup item I can do?

  • Yes, that doesn't work either. I've tried that. It connects only when logged in, not on boot. BTW, I am not using 7 strictly, 2008 R2.

On any Windows 7 this simple procedure should work:

  • Start.
  • Open startup folder.
  • Create new text document.
  • Type Start Rasdial connectionname username password - e.g: Start rasdial cucunet john john123.
  • Change extension to BAT (delete .txt extension and replace with .bat).

enjoy!

I don't recommend to use Broadband Connection as the connection name; just rename your connection to a one word name like Broadband or Mynet or RDS :)

Use this: Automatically dial the default Internet connection at Windows startup

With the slight modification that do not set "When I logon", but set "At system startup".

  • You still need to disable "prompt for name and password" as "om sai" said.
