I have ras enabled on my server. I can get connected thru remote pc and when I then go to browse network I can see the other PCs . But when I try to acces any of them I get an error message saying either unable to acess pc or dont have access to it.Also when I try to access the server it asks me for a password. But when I put in correct password it wont take it. I always sign in as administrator .. thanks for any help

1.The system log in the evnt viewer does a pretty good job of tracking failed RAS login attempts. I'd start there.
2.If your encryption settings aren't set to "allow any authentication including clear text" change them to that to test.
3.Check theprotocol config to make shure that you're set to access "entire network" and not "this computer only" (this sounds like the problem you're describing)
4.make sure on the TCP/IP config settings you're set to "use dhcp to assign remote client addresses" (this would be my second choice guess)

It's none of my business but from a security stand point, I would rename your administrator account to something harmless like "building maintenance" and then create a dummy account called administrator and password the heck out of it just to give the hackers something to chew on. The administrator account of the RAS server is usually the first thing they go after. IMHO

What client operating system are you using? If you are using a Win9x client, the Windows username and password (not Microsoft Networking, but those that are stored locally as c:\windows\.pwl) must be the same as the username and password for the domain. Otherwise, you will be allowed to connect through RAS, but will be unable to access any resources.
