I have been asked by my company to come up with a dialup solution for connecting two seperate networks via dial-up. Has anyone ever successfully accomplished this using Windows 2000 servers? I have tried but can not get network protocols (TCP/IP andIPX) to route over the PPP connection. Here is what I did.
Set up Two RRAS Windows 2000 servers on each network(network1 and network2). Each server has a NIC card and a Modem. I Configured RRAS as a RAS server (not a network router)to acept incoming and out going callson both servers. each servers NIC cards are configured with a static IP on there appropriate networks. Network 1 server will be used to accept incomming connections, this modem tests fine. I think the PPP adapter’s config is correct. The server on network 2 is configured to dial-up. It should obtain its IP information from the the PPP adapter on the server located on Network 1. when I make the connection, I can only ping the server on Network 1 from the dial-up server on network 2. I can not ping the server on network 1 from any computer on network 2.
Was Configuring these servers as RAS servers the right choice? The alternative would be to configure them as Network routers.
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
