How To Autoreconnect Dial-up Connections

Posted on 22. Jan, 2010 by Aminul Islam Sajib in How To, Windows

System Method

While your dial-up connection is active, click on the network icon from your systray and click Properties. In the Properties box, go to the Options tab, and check the “Redial if line is dropped” checkbox. Click OK.

I have not checked the box yet, do it now.

After this is done if the connection is disconnected for any reason, the system will automatically try to reestablish by dialing up again without any secondary command by you.

Software Method

The system method is a good one, and so far, it has worked pretty good for me. In my opinion, it is satisfactory. However, in case you use a download manager for all your downloading, you may want something that won’t just resume your connection but will also resume your downloads.

To make this happen, you may choose to use a tiny software named ReConnect. ReConnect has some options to help you personalize the product to suit your needs.

Conclusion

I hope now you enjoy your dial-up connection without the hassle of reconnecting over and over again; which potentially used to destroy your pleasure of surfing the web.
