Another way of saying it is that I want it to automatically sense if there isn't an internet connection, and when it does I want it to automatically connect. Furthermore, I'd like it to prefer to connect to the home WLAN connection over the Cingular DUN connection.

Thanks.
I thought this was built into windows or maybe Internet Explorer. I seem to remember a check box that said _dial if no network connection detected_

The keywords are: Network Manager

Or maybe simply changing the binding order in Windows Networking to use the wireless first then the DUN
