RASERROR602... PORT ALREADY OPEN!

[Jean-Claude Bertrand]

HI ALL!

I still have the problem with the disconnection caused by others programs
already connected... these programs are not importants compared to the one
I am building right now... so if there's an active connection, it just have
to be killed by MYAPP (the new app should have the "RAS-privilege" on any
others programs).

I have seen the error 602 Port ALREADY OPEN... I have try to disconnected
correcly (RASEnumConn), but I think I need a rought means (like talk direcly
to the modem and say bye, is it possible?).

DO you have an idea how to close the port when it's already open... then
myAPP would have the possibility to be get connected (in all situation).
Any idea would be appreciate!

Thanks for your help and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Ras can take a while to release resources after initiating the hangup
command. When you call rashangup on a connection, you should wait a fair
while before trying to hangup any other connections. Eg:
Do while VbRasEnumConnection(myConns()) > 0
rtn = rasHangUp(myConns(0).hRasConn)
If rtn <> 0 Then Goto ErrorHandler
Sleep 1000
Loop

or something like that.

The MSDN specifically recommends waiting 3 seconds (probably overkill) or
calling RasGetConnectStatus continually in a loop until the handle becomes
invalid before continuing. See my other post entitled "Re: The RasDial
Function" today for an URL to DL a sample that uses the latter method...
