Dear all

Finally i have figured out a way to prevent dummy connection by a workaround. You need to have a vbscript and RasDial working in your PC. Both of these work by default. This is great for people who loves downloading stuff
<


To test if VBScript working or not, download the below file and execute it

Unlimited free file storage and free file hosting

If this script not giving alert and opens in a notepad or some other program, the VBScript is not associated properly.. Goto this website(File Association Fixes for Windows 7 - The Winhelponline Blog) and fix it

To check if "Rasdial" working or not

-- Go to command prompt and type "RasDial /DISCONNECT" (without quotes). This should terminate your existing dialup connection. If you get any error then this fix wont work

Now the main part.. Note that this fix or workaround will work only with "Dial up connection with auto reconnect option" or to those who use "Reconnect" Software

Download the below VBScript file

Unlimited free file storage and free file hosting

Use windows scheduler and schedule it to run every 30 minutes (or 1 hour or as per your wish)

Use the Reconnect software/Dialup connection normally.. This program checks the following

1) It checks if the internet connection is working or not (by pinging google.com)

2) If internet works, it does nothing and exits

3) If internet not working, then it terminates/disconnects the current dial up connection..

4) Since there is a disconnection, the "Reconnect" software automatically attempts one more connection

5) Meanwhile this script waits for 1 minute and then checks for internet connection again with the new dialed connection (by "Reconnect")

6) If it is normal connection then this script exit, else the loop follows again

So this program will exit only when there is a valid internet connection

Note: I am not responsible for any problem caused by this program. Use it at your own risk. Only problem i foresee is that when there is no connection at all due to problem with MTNL, then this keeps executing.. Hope that is understood.

Let me know your views..
 
I use a mobile. So i see the connection status.

So i check the data status if there is no data received,only data being sent then it is a dummy connection.

So i press the "C" Button on my nokia so it gets disconnected and gets reconnected automatically.

Done

Ok.

But as my guide says, this is for Datacard and for those who is into heavy downloading and face dummy connection at night or when unattended.

This should solve their issue.

Sorry to ask what is dummy connection at first place.

What exactly happens if it gets done.

Do you have a MTNL connection, if not then it's going to be a hard thing to explain it to you, as for MTNL users they are all very aware of it. A dummy connection is a connection just like a normal connection, the only thing is that it does not transmit any data, just connected and sitting their like a idiot and you thinking it is connected but it's dummy connection so the f*^&ing thing won't send any data and you cannot browse/download anything

Lemme know if you need more info.
 
So is it working for you...?

I do use it at times in the night and found that after using Reconnect initially it may connect as a dummy connection but then it reverts to a normal working condition. It may be a coincidence or what but it does seem to work. At least till now.
