How do I run Logon Scrips over RAS?

Hi,

I have an NT Server 4.0 which acts as a RAS
server through ISDN. It is set up as follows:

RAS Service: Both RAS ports set up as Send &
Receive. Network: TCP/IP only, clients get
IP address from the server's DHCP service.
Authentication: Any incl. clear text.

Dial-up Networking on remote users'
computers (Windows 98): Log on to network,
only TCP/IP, any authentication incl. clear
text.

The users who need RAS connection, have RAS
permission granted. They have a logon script
defined, which runs fine when logging on to
the server from their local offices (via
the LAN).

When dialling to the server, I get an error
telling there are no domain servers
available, thus the logon script is never
run, and I cannot browse the network. The
ISDN connection is there, though, and I can
connect to the server using PcAnywhere.

Are there any special settings I need to
make, be it on the server or the remote
users' computers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using WINS on the network then make sure the DHCP gives the WINS address out to the RAS clients.

Magetower,

Thank you very much for your tip.
I adjusted the DHCP server, and it now
works hust fine.

I ran into this problem before. My end users were RASing in just fine, until I got DSL and setup my server with their DNS entries. To fix this, try this: Give your remote computers static IP Addresses matching the DNS entries from the server on your remote computers, also giving it the default gateway that your server has. This worked for me. Hope this helps.
