Is there any way for me to use php to make my windows xp pc connect to the internet, either by starting the windows dialer or by some other means? The windows machine uses a standard 56k dialup to connect to the internet. Thanks Steve If you have your machine already set-up to connect automatically to the internet (i.e. when your browser is started) then all that is necessary is to execute something that needs an internet connection - for example you could CURL a web page.

Mind you, if you had done a 2 minute google, maybe you would have found: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/rasdial.mspx HTH, Mikey
