Need batch file help

[100%]

At the student dorm where i am presently at
to get connected to the internet, i have to
1.type in run "telnet *****ip adress****"
command prompt comes up
2.type in username "***username***"
enter
3.type in password "***password*"
enter

is there any way for a simple batchfile script to do this because i have to do this several times a day and it is rather annoying.
Thanks in advance

would the -l varibule work?

type: telnet /? for command line options

-l Specifies the user name to log in with on the remote system.
Requires that the remote system support the TELNET ENVIRON option.

I'm not aware of a way to automatically enter a password with a batch file.
There is a windows port of expect (http://expect.nist.gov/FAQ.html) which can be used for automating telent sessions.

If you hunt around you can probably find a telnet client that can save usernames and passwords.

Thanks for help
i will look into auto password programs

but if i make a batch saying

telnet 129.234.221.9
the command window pops up exactly as expected
could i simply put in after (telnet)

u5ern4me
and then

pA55w0rd

Vargas i don't understand your -l variable - where to place it?
nice to see you back btw.

could i simply put in after (telnet) u5ern4me

I don't think so. Firstly the interpreter will not process the next line until the telnet program closes, secondly the interpreter will take that as an instruction to run a program called u5ern4me

telnet -l username 129.234.221.9

it doesn't say anything about password though. . . maybe:
telnet -l username password 129.234.221.9

[zaphodiv]

maybe:
telnet -l username password 129.234.221.9

That does not work.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>telnet -l zaphodiv password a.machine.of.mine
Connecting To password...Could not open connection to the host, on port a.machine.of.mine: Connect failed

[Vargas]

maybe:
telnet -l zaphodiv|password a.machine.of.yours

but i think the solution would be a telnet client that supports scripting

SecureCRT or PenguiNet.
