AppleScript, Panther, and Internet Connect


  • Subject: AppleScript, Panther, and Internet Connect

Under OS 8.6 and OS X 10.2.8, the following script worked to connect me to my DSL ISP with Built-In Ethernet selected as my active Internet connect configuration:

tell application "Internet Connect"
Connect
Quit
end tell

Under OS X 10.3.1, the same script opens Internet Connect, does not connect to Internet, and quits.

If I switch to dial up modem configuration manually, the above script works fine. It just fails with the Built-In Ethernet connection.

After looking at the Internet Connect dictionary, I elaborated the script to the following:

tell application "Internet Connect"
connect PPPoE configuration "Built-in Ethernet"
end tell

Again, no connection.

If I substitute "PPP configuration "Internal Modem" in the above script, then it connects

System Profiler gives "Built-In Ethernet" as the configuration name for Ethernet connect, yet the script doesn't work.

Conversely, the script

Tell application "Internet Connect"
Disconnect
end Tell

works fine in 10.3.1, just as it did under 8.6 and 10.2.8.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
