hi !!
we are a development Company for mobile Solutions. Just now we are testing connecting a WAP-Server on Windows2000 via RRAS and ISDN-Card. The Problem seems to be, that altough a session is established (authentication and accounting is ok ) nodata is arriving the WAP-Server. This problem we have only with Nokia Communicator, and Mobiles with phone.com Browser ( like Siemens or Motorolla ).No problem we have with all other Nokia and Ericsson Mobiles. If someone has experience with a situation like ours, please write a note. Everything would be very helpful for us.

I know this may sound silly but have you contacted the Mobile operator to ensure your sims are enabled for Data transmission.

The Phone.com browser, try resetting the connection settings and the select the option to reset the handset and try again.

With the communicator does it operate on other gateways fine ? If it does try a soft rest of the device and try again.

thank?s for this proposals
first: the sims are enabled for Data transmission
second: i don?t understand exactly what you mean - but if i use a Router (e.g BinTec, Cisco)with the same Mobiles i have no Problem to get the Content on the WAP-Server,so the Client should not be the Problem.
third:the same as second. we get a connection, when we use a router, not when using a RRAS Service.

The Windows 2000 RRAS default settings do not authenticate a Nokia 7110. WinNT4 RRAS is a much simpler product and the default settings support the 7110. The issue is that the server by default supports encrypted (CHAP and MSCHAP)and un-encrypted (PAP and SPAP) authentication. To authenticate a 7110, you MUST turn off all CHAP settings and allow only PAP authentication. Set the phone to normal authentication.

This is further complicated by the fact that RRAS supports Active Directory and authentication is set on both the server and the "policy". The policy is a set of requirements that the dial-up user must meet to be authenticated. These are user, group, time of day, IP address etc etc.

The default RRAS policy denies all users so once you have turned off CHAP for the server you must turn off CHAP for the default policy and then grant the dial-up permission to the users via active directory. OR create a new profile that grants dial-up connections to your users/groups.

In Windows 98 (and apparently 95, 2000 and NT as well) the RAS server is called "Dial Up Server".

Hence you must first ensure that the dial up server is installed! You can check this as follows:

1. Press START button, select SETTINGS, select CONTROL PANEL.

2. From the control panel window select ADD/REMOVE PROGRAM icon.

3. From the Add/Remove Programs Properties window, select WINDOWS SETUP tab.

4. Click once on the COMMUNICATIONS selection. Click DETAILS.

5. Make sure the dial up option is checked. If it isn't, check it now.

6. Press OK.

7. Press OK.

To configure the RAS service, you must do the following:

1. Double click on the MY COMPUTER icon.

2. In the My Computer window, open up Dial Up Networking by double clicking the DIAL-UP NETWORKING icon.

3. Select the tab with the device which answers the calls (a modem or GSM Phone/card).

4. Select ALLOW CALLER ACCESS radio button.

5. If you wish to limit WAP caller access then enter a password. This password must be entered in the WAP client (ie phone) settings.

6. Press the SERVER TYPES button. Unselect the REQUIRE ENCRYPTED PASSWORD box.

7. Select PPP: INTERNET, WINDOWS NT SERVER, WINDOWS 98 from the Type of Dial Up Server list box. Press OK.

8. Press OK from the Dial up server to close thew window and activate the RAS service.

9. The RAS service should be able to be seen running in the tray!

Disclaimer: I wish I could claim the solution as my own, but I found it at the following web site:

There are many other articles of similar subject matter on that site that may be of interest to you.

Good luck and have a GREAT 2002!
