I have a laptop that is configured with windows 2000. We are using RAS to connect to the NT Domain. The system authenticates, and can see the shares on the domain controlers only. I have to set up local accounts on other servers for the user of the windows laptop to see shares on these servers. Am I missing something?

In the client dial-up properties, there is a check box for LOGON DOMAIN...make sure this is checked.

Then make sure that the remote user types in the proper username password and DOMAIN NAME.

Maybe this will work..I haven't tried it yet.

On NT server you dial in go to RAS server properties, choose TCP/IP properties and enable TCP/IP routing to your network. Otherwise you'll be able to see dialed server only (just as in your case). If you need more info - e-mail me.

I can see all the servers in my domain; I just cannot access the shares until I create local accounts on each server that are not domain controllers. All shares on the domain controllers are accessible. This is only a problem with 2000, I have many NT and 98 systems connecting with no problem.
