I am using DotRas 1.3.4823.23273 for Windows 7 with a Hauwei E3131 HSPA+ USB modem. I have the following function which is intended to dial the reas connection for the modem.
public void Connect(string dialerEntryName)
{
string path = RasPhoneBook.GetPhoneBookPath(RasPhoneBookType.User);
using (RasDialer dialer = new RasDialer())
{
dialer.EntryName = dialerEntryName;
dialer.PhoneBookPath = path;
try
{
dialer.Dial();
}
catch (Exception ex) { }
}
}
I get an error 628 when trying to dial the connection.
The connection was terminated by the remote computer before it could be completed.
However when I dial the connection manually from my dialup connections in Windows 7 it works. The error only happens when I try to dial with DotRas.
I had this working not long ago. I am not sure what changed or what went wrong. I know I can probably dial the modem via AT commands but I would much prefer using the Windows dial up connections for this purpose.
It turns out that when saving credentials in the RAS connection there is a setting that must be enabled on the DotRas dialer, otherwise it seems to attempt to dial without any credentials.
public bool Connect(string dialerEntryName)
{
string path = RasPhoneBook.GetPhoneBookPath(RasPhoneBookType.User);
using (RasDialer dialer = new RasDialer())
{
dialer.EntryName = dialerEntryName;
dialer.PhoneBookPath = path;
dialer.AllowUseStoredCredentials = true;
dialer.Dial();
return true;
}
}
The connection works with the setting:
dialer.AllowUseStoredCredentials = true;
Added. I assume that manually specifying credentials will also work, but I have not confirmed this.
