I have an NT4 server running RAS, configured to pass both IP and IPX to the network. My desktop PC (Win98) is running pcAnywhere in Host mode via IPX. I can use my Laptop (Win98) to remote control my desktop using pcAnywhere over IPX at the office, but when I try to do it from home by dialing into the RAS server, it can't find my Host.
I can use IPX to access other network resources through the RAS, so I know it's passing IPX through... Any ideas what I can do to get this working?
Also, I can make pcAnywhere work through the RAS by using IP, but that is not a viable option in this scenario.

Scott,

On the dial-up configuration for your Win98 laptop, remove TCP/IP. RAS will negotiate with the first protocol that it finds in common with the remote computer. Even though IPX is enabled, it will not be used if TCP/IP is successfully connected. This, if not the problem, is a good place to start anyway. Good Luck

Thanks, but I am not running IP on the laptop. I did turn it on long enough to test and see if I could connect to pcAnywhere through IP, but normally, only IPX is running.
