    How do I set up my PPPoE connection to automatically connect after a boot? Under ME, just putting it in the start folder did it but I don't see any equivalent capability under XP. TIA.

    Did you try placing it in the:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[your id]\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder?

    :)

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes. It just brings up the connect window. I still need to manually click the connect button.

    Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Right-click on the connection -> Properties -> Options -> Uncheck "Prompt for name and password, certificate, etc." and "Prompt for phone number "

    Hope it helps. :p
