Hi,

I have added the 'Communications Cable between two computers' component but
how do I configure this on my live system. On a standard windows XP you can
use the 'New Connection Wizard' in the Network Connections Control Panel. I
don't have this on my live Embedded system.

Regards,
Dara
 
Dara,

How about using RAS API to create and setup a DCC connection? (RASET_Direct type)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/rras/rras/ras_start_page.asp

Also, you can predefine some ras book entries on your image (or use XP Pro system) and then copy over rasphone.pbk file (or only
connection related sections).
The file will be set up either under "\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\" or
"\Documents and Settings\< Your Profile>\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\".

PS. I don't know any good command line tools on XP to create RAS entries without GUI. Rasphone.exe will only call to show the New
connection dialog.
Perhaps there are 3rd party tools that support command line UI to set up dial-up connections on XP.
 
Thanks KM that worked a treat.
