VPN VB Win XP

Ref: VB, Win XP, VPN

How do I approach this problem

I would like to develop a Window Forms Client Side application (MyApp) that will:

1) Button click on MyApp will open Netscape and Conntivity applications. Ensure that Connitivity is always on top.

2) User must enter id and password into Conntivity app to establish VPN connection.

3) MyApp will automatically capture the event that a VPN connection has been establish, enter a URL into Netscape and execute it.

I would appreciate any ideas Thanks.
