I have a Windows 2000 server with a Perle PCI-RAS 8 port modem installed. I have not been able to get any laptops with WIN98 as the OS to connect with Dial up Networking. All other laptops and home desktops with NT4, Win2000, and XP seem ta always connect. Any Ideas?

See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - Q262357 titled, "RAS Clients Cannot Connect to Windows 2000 Demand-Dial Router".

It applies to Windows 98 clients dialing-up to a Windows 2000 Sever via RAS.

CAUSE: This behavior occurs because the server's RAS port is not configured to accept remote access connections.

RESOLUTION: To resolve this problem, use the following steps:

Start the Routing and Remote Access administrative tool.

Expand the options under your RAS server's name.

Click Ports, and then click Properties on the Action menu.

Click the appropriate port (L2TP, Modem, PPTP, LPT1, and so on), and then click Configure.

Click to select the Remote access connections (inbound only) check box, and then click OK.

Click Apply, and then click OK.

STATUS: Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000.

If you dont have any accounts created that have RAS permission. Also check the services on the server to see if remote access services are running. Hope this helps.
