<div> <font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hi,<br>
<br>
I've seen the posts here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/vpn-help@lists.shrew.net/msg00220.html" target="_blank">http://www.mail-archive.com/vpn-help@lists.shrew.net/msg00220.html</a><br>

<br>
and I've tried placing the shortcut in the startup menu as described here:<br>
</font></font><pre>ipsecc -r "name" [-u <name>][-p <pass>][-a]<br>
-r site configuration name<br>
-u connection user name<br>
-p connection user password<br>
-a auto connect<br>
</pre><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I've called my connection "test", so my shortcut target is:<br>
<br>
"C:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\ipseca.exe" -r test -a<br>
<br>
I also tried <br>
<br>
"C:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\ipseca.exe" -r "test" -a<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what the username and password are meant to be since this is ipsec not PPTP, right?<br>
<br>
</font></font><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">So Shew does launch at startup but it does not connect automatically.<br>
(by the way the executable file is ipseca.exe and not ipsecc.exe as in the example).<br>
<br>
<b>Can you please give me an example of the correct command line?</b><br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>
