How to map via RAS properly?
up a user to dialin via RAS to an NT server, and fire up a database on his
local machine which points to the databases physical location to get the
data from the server. It works wonderfully. The customer is tickled how
using this method with existing phone lines saved them from having to follow
the software vendors recommendation to buy a 56k Lease line, CSU/DSU
routers, multiplexor's etc. (For a single computer at the remote site) They
wanted to use PC Anywhere and hook the printer, and the bar code scanner and
the PC each to the multiplexor. The cost would have been quite high. The
only problem we have is the vendor has the path of a mapped drive that
provides a copy protection check in a dongle. The path is a mapped location
such as:
Z:\thisdir\filename.exe
The way I implemented the connection, my map shows up as:
Z:\100.100.100.10\thisdir\filename.exe
Since this path doesn't match the path ha
