I was wondering if it was possible to Dial different pppoe adsl accounts at different times of the day, automatically in windows XP. I have a Axxess 384 express+ account which kick in after 7 or 8pm and gets throttled after 8am in the morning. I also have a 50gig saix business account i'd like to use in the time I am throttled so maintain full speed all the time. So basically Dial the saix @ 8am and kill the connection at 7pm and automatically dial axxess express @ 7pm and auto dc at 8am.
 
If you have a router, you can set a perl script to telnet in and change the username/password.
 
I have a D-LiNK 2640u, could you tell me how I do that ? I use my router in bridge mode so I dial different accounts on my pc and xbox

I think it is time for a sticky :(
 
Unfortunately, I think the perl/telnet script will not work if the router is in bridge mode.
 
Just use the Windows scheduler to call rasdial to disconnect and redial the appropriate connections.

C:\>rasdial /?
USAGE:
rasdial entryname [username [password|*]] [/DOMAIN:domain]
[/PHONE:phonenumber] [/CALLBACK:callbacknumber]
[/PHONEBOOK:phonebookfile] [/PREFIXSUFFIX]

rasdial [entryname] /DISCONNECT

rasdial
