>now, i have a lan connection, so can't test it. when i did run a test, i used INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_UNATTENDED + INTERNET_DIAL_UNATTENDED. the diplay still came up, however with the buttons disabled, and it froze, i hade to Ctrl+Alt+Del.

What I ended up doing is to check for an Internet connection first. So, if not, based on some settings, I can then issue a call to this method and decide to force into a specific dialup profile or go on top of the list to go with the connection.
