Works great even for VPN users which the @RAS method may not catch if the person is using DSL, cable modem or connecting from a remote office.

Only really good for searching for whole class C addresses though in it's current form. Could probably be modified to search for sections of a class if you wanted to.

- Login.bat --

code:

---

echo Checking for Dial-up connection.....
REM - Dial up range 1
route print | find "0.0.0.0" | find "AAA.BBB.CCC"
REM - AAA.BBB.CCC represents an IP address range to search for.
if errorlevel 1 goto next1
goto dupusr
:next1
REM - Dial up IP range 2
route print | find "0.0.0.0" | find "AAA.BBB.CCC"
if errorlevel 1 goto next2
goto dupusr
:next2
REM - VPN IP range
route print | find "0.0.0.0" | find "AAA.BBB.CCC"
if errorlevel 1 goto goclient
goto dupusr
REM - Dial up range not detected, LAN User.
REM - Start KixStart
Goto end
:dupusr
REM - Dial up user detected
REM - Don't start KixStart
:end

---------------------------------------------
I am now using this Login.bat which requires even remote computers to copy a very small 54k grep program. Should make adding custom IP ranges easier because of the more powerful grep utility.

--- Login.bat ---

code:

---

@echo off
xcopy /q /d /c %0\..\grep.exe %windir% > nul
echo Checking for Dial-up connection.....   
route print | %windir%\grep -e "0.0.0.0" | %windir%\grep -c -e "AAA.BBB.CCC" -e "AAA.BBB.DDD" -e "AAA.BBB.EEE" > nul
if errorlevel 1 goto goclient
:dupusr
goto end
:goclient
xcopy /q /d /c %0\..\kix32.exe %windir% >nul
If "%os%"=="Windows_NT" goto NT
xcopy /q /d /c %0\..\kx32.dll %windir% >nul
xcopy /q /d /c %0\..\kx16.dll %windir% >nul
xcopy /q /d /c %0\..\kx95.dll %windir% >nul
:NT
%windir%\kix32.exe %0\..\login.kix
goto end
:end
