I want to limit the time that my modem will answer the
phone. I don't want it answering it during business
hours. Perhaps I should be in a hardware newsgroup
 
Set up a scheduled job which invokes batch files containing the following
commands:

net start remoteaccess

net stop remoteaccess

Test--it has been a while since I've checked this out, but I believe that
net stop remoteaccess will stop the modem from answering, and the net start
command will reinstate it.

You can set up a pair of scheduled tasks to turn this on and off.
 
That did the trick Bill. Thanks. However.....I got an
error message telling me a dependency service was not
running....NetBIOSGroup........to be specific. I had
uninstalled the microsoft client. Reinstalled it...and
bang.....service started turning on and off as designed.

I find it interesting that Microsoft would REQUIRE...
their client to be up and running for routing and remote
access to start.
 
andddd now

I understand why. Its real simple. I simply did not fully
understand what NETBIOS does......and more
importantly .........what it doesn't do.

thanks.
 
Well - I'm glad you understand it 'cause I'm not sure that I do in this
context, but my thinking has been pretty muddy lately.

Anyway--glad you got it doing what you wanted!
