An AppleScript to start Internet Connect at login
Authored by: fracai on Mar 09, '05 01:50:09PM

you might have problems with this script if you have multiple network devices (ethernet, wireless, modem, etc). I use a similar script to disconnect and found that I had to reference a specific device or disconnect all devices.

I'm not sure how this translates to connecting (does it connect based on the ordered priority?).

An AppleScript to start Internet Connect at login (for different locations)
Authored by: Anonymous on Mar 10, '05 05:47:50PM

I am new to OS X and have never written Apple Script before.

I use my iBook's wireless connection in two different places daily. One is at home, where I can just connect to the wireless network and surf the web. The other is at Uni, where I need to use a proxy to get to external sites.

At the moment I have to change my "Location" from "Home" to "Uni". I'm just wondering how good the "Automatic" is for this as I haven't had and luck and whether I could get an Apple Script to check if the proxy is needed and enable it if it is.

Also, how do I set the preferences to automatically join a network?
