Guide Intenet Connectivity Check and Reconnection via Batch File.

Hi

Here is a Batch(.bat) file which will automatically check for network/internet connectivity and if not found will automatically reconnect. This is will come in very handy for people who's internet link keeps dropping and are having frequent disconnections. This is a customized code which I use(pppoe on PC). Go to the source (see ref.) for original code and customize as per your requirement.

I'm not checking for DNS errors cuz It was resulting in error, also i dont usually face dns issues.

Replace ConnectionName with the name of your Broadband Dialer
USERNAME with username and
PASSWORD with password.

Note: This is aimed@ people who dial (pppoe) on the PC and Reconnection part will only for such people. Will not work if you dial(pppoe) on modem or router.

For people with router, put your router on always on mode so whenever the line drops it will automatically reconnect. And for people which do PPPoE on modem, I think it's about time you put it on bridged mode.

A) Copy this code.
B) Open notepad and paste.
C) Customize.
D) Save as xxxx.bat or xxxx.cmd and Schedule
E) Enjoy non-stop torrent downloading :hap2:

You can Schedule this to run every 15min - 30mins to check for connectivity.
Feel free to pop a question.

For people using router, if this doesn't help you then try using AHK(Auto Hot Key) or Imacro's for firefox for automation. Can draw inspiration from here http://www.techenclave.com/guides-and-tutorials/guide-night-downloading-mtnl-749nu-plan-113072.html

Njoy.

did anyone find this useful? :|

 

[rASCAL]

i did find it useful as my net used to get disconnected in the night

i modified it a bit though

 

[abbY]

how to schedule :ashamed:

 

[m0h1t]

windows task scheduler

Doesn't PPOE automatically takes care of reconnecting if the line is dropped? There is an option when you create this connection in Windows, isn't it?

Under redialing properties we have a checkbox saying 'Redial if line is dropped'

 

[m0h1t]

Its happens quite often, well atleast with me that although the line isn't dropped yet the net doesn't work, so then this thing comes in handy.

Also this thing is more versatile and flexible, you can put in anything you want.
for example check for internet connectivity, if found true then start download manager or utorrent, if not then connect and then start the app.

will it work when pc restarts suddely and there is no connection found after startup, will it connect automatically on it's own whenever a connection is not present.
