establishing a VPN connection

I'm trying to find out how to programmatically establish a connection of a
VPN Network Connection to the VPN server. With answers from another forum
and searching around, I came across RasDial() and RasHangup() in the SDK.
Can anyone tell me if i'm on the right track here? It mentions things like
phonebook and I'm wondering if that means the objects available in Network
Connections.

I could either create a VPN Network Conenction and try to use RasDial to
initiate that or I could get the address, username and password and use
those to directly initiate the VPN connection.

Thanks

I've managed to get a VPN connection to connect using RasDial. Now I can't
figure out how to find out the IP address of the VPN server connection I'm
connected to or my own VPN client connection IP address. Any help
please???

I answered on this network NG, as to how netstat -o do that
programmatically you need
to use AllocateAndGetTcpExTableFromStack()

AllocateAndGetTcpExTableFromStack is not in my MSDN but i found out online
that it is being obsoleted and they recommend GetTcpTable() instead.
However, although this has been around since
Windows 98 it depends on Iphlpapi.h which is not anywhere on my PC. Do I
have to install something for that to be available? I'm using MSVC++ 6.0.
