A method for allowing a user PC ( 1702 ) to be controlled in order to effect a connection between the user PC ( 1702 ) and a destination node ( 1706 ) on a network ( 306 ). This is facilitated through an audio source ( 1700 ) wherein compact disk recording media has embedded therein an audio signal. When the compact disk recording media is played, the audio signal is extracted by an audio extractor ( 1600 ) and transmitted to the user PC, and detected by a program running in the background of the user PC ( 1702 ). Once the audible tone is detected, a web browser is launched and the tone or decoded product identifier information associated with the tone is transmitted to an ARS ( 308 ) on the network ( 306 ). The ARS ( 308 ) then compares the information received from the user PC ( 1702 ) using information from a relational database ( 1704 ). The relational database ( 1704 ) contains routing information for various destination nodes ( 1706 ) on the network. When a match occurs, the matching information is then forwarded back to the user PC ( 1702 ) and this is utilized to route the user PC ( 1702 ) to the particular destination node ( 1706 ) corresponding to the audible tone for the processing of information received therefrom.
