Hi techs. I tried Dial-up networking in Windows 2000 to give my peers dial-up access to my DSL internet link. However, dial-in clients could only dial in successfully using one of the 12 IP addresses I have in my cyber cafe (10.0.2.50 to 10.0.2.62).What can I do to enable clients use other addresses apart from this? When i use win2000 server, I can't specify the adddresses for the clients the way I did in 2000 pro. What range of addresses can I use with respect to my above IP addresses? Thanksfor cooperation.

Hvae you tried to use a network share (ie the server sits in the IP range and acts like a router).

You could set up the 2k Server with as a DHCP server and add/activate a scope of addresses to assign to clients who connect using RAS. This should allow those clients to receive addresses from a range you specify.

If you set this up, all clientsin the building will need to be DHCP clients (makes for easier handling) and the Server (and back up server if available) will need to have static IPs which are excluded from the range of dynamic IPs.

Also you can set up additional scopes and specify which server (if more than one) handles which scope, for redundancy
