How could I manage to automate starting Opera browser (5.11)and open my connection ? Opera does not ask to open the connection and tells "distant server not found". The connection has to be opened for the browser to work online ? Any trick ? I don't want to bother opening the connection and then start Opera which I most appreciate !
Thanks a lot !

What you could do is create a batch file that will dial your ISP, start Opera, then disconnect from your ISP when you shutdown Opera.
 
Something like this:
 
@ECHO OFF
RASPHONE -d "your_ISP_goes_here"
CD \Program Files\Opera
START /MAX /WAIT Opera.exe
RASDIAL "your_ISP_goes_here" /disconnect
EXIT
