Hi, I thought that people might like to automate their Unlimited nighttime connections through Windows XP (not tested in Win98 ).create a new scheduled task called Connect and type in the following linerasdial "BSNL" yourusername yourpassword.(here "BSNL" is the name of your network connection. Quotes are useful if you have spaces in the connection name)create a new scheduled task called Disconnect and type in the following linerasdial "BSNL" /disconnectdo as below for all scheduled tasks:In case you do not have a password set for your Windows Login, right-click on the task, go to properties, and check the "Run only if logged on" option.(this is to stop windows from prompting for your non-existent password when starting the task).Also, in the Settings tab, check the "Wake the Computer to run this task" option.In case you have power conservation enabled, goto Control Panel -> Power Options -> Advanced Tab and uncheck the "Prompt for password when computer resumes from Standby".Now schedule Connect task for 2 am, and Disconnect task for 8 am respectively through Windows Task Scheduler(Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools ->Scheduled Tasks).Now just schedule your favourite P2P app for 2:01 am. If you want to automatically shutdown your PC at 8 am, schedule this command as shown above, for 8 amshutdown.exe -s -t 60 -c "Shutting down your PC"Enjoy!!! 😀
