I agree. An always on broadband connection is just that, always on.
An example is WOL technology. The computer is turned off, but can be started by a command through the network. This brings up a thought. If you have a home computer connected directly to a broadband modem/router, you do not want to have WOL enabled. John Tolmachoff IT Manager, Network Engineer RelianceSoft, Inc.

So in such a situation you have to first dial up and then logon. But in my opinion the things mentioned in this thread are for a network where you already have an internet (or intranet) connection available. In such a situation you don't (in general) provide logon information. As soon as your computer is up you are in the internet (or intranet). -- Sedat Dogru
