Well, I have put in a ping prior to connecting. Didn't help. Any tips on verifying that the connection is established before login on? And if not rety.

It works if the user that runs the scheduled task is loged on. So, my workaround is creating a autologon on the machine.

It is not interactive. Maybe you internet connection is not valid until you start a session.

And the question is :
How can I change this behavior. It looks as if it's in a interactive mode in some way, waiting for user input at the screen.

I have I problem. I have a scheduled task running a script and it stoped working one week ago. When I run the exact same script "manualy" (logging on an start the task) it woks fine. In the logfile the differense is;
