I have been experiencing some weird problems with my PPPOE connection ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.
1. Windows will never autodial the connection. Regardless of settings. When I thick the checkbox in "Connect Automatically", and click connect, next time the dialog pops, it will be unthicked again and it will wait for me to click the connect button.
-I have made the connection available to all users by selecting "Allow all users on this computer to connect through this connection" and "Remember my credentials".
-I have set it as "Default" in Internet Options and selected "Always Dial My Default Connection".
-I created the connection as "Broadband (PPPOE)" in the setup wizard as it should be.
2. Windows will eventually disconnect the connection.
-I have unthicked the mark in the Power Management box on my NIC "Allow Windows to Turn off this device" so the NIC will always stay powered on.
-Unselected "Disconnect when connection may no longer be needed" from Internet Options and set in PPPOE Options "Idle time before hanging up" to "never".
My network setups is as follows.
I use LAN as my connection type, with no modem in the middle. The LAN cable goes directly into the NIC and from there I set up the connection within Windows as "Boardband (PPPOE)", which is my only choice in the setup wizard, enter my user and pass and connect. There is no modem, it's a LAN connection with PPPOE authentication.
Here is my question.
1. How do I get Windows to always connect to this connection, as soon as Windows starts, or resumes from Sleep, even before I log into Windows.
2. How do I get Windows to always stay connected and not drop me.
3. How do I get this thing to connect silently, without any dialog boxes and pop ups and confirmation buttons, entirely in the background, without bothering me. Linux does it, Mac OS X does it, only Windows seems to be unable to do it. I am sick of looking at this stupid dialog box every time.
