THE BATCH FILE

Make sure you have your 3G Modem connected and that the name of the profile is Internet. If not then modify the batch file accordingly. rasdial “Internet” Like to display and download the link for the batch file

If you want to disconnect the connection then you need to run the /disconnect switch e.g: rasdial “Internet” /disconnect

AUTOMATICALLY START

Now there’s a few way to automatically start the Internet connection, one way is to just copy the batch file to the startup folder located here: C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup There are other tools that can be used to automatically start the program. One of them is called Launcher Dock.

Then create a schedule task in the Windows scheduler and set it so that it reconnects every 20 or 30 minutes.

Give it a try.
