Windows NT 4.0 RAS Server

Hi, maybe it's best to start at the beginning. Your 98 machine would be running DUN. You'd set up the phone book entry to dial the number of the server and for dial-up server type choose: PPP,WindowsNT,Windows95,Internet. Choose your protocol (easiest to test with netbeui) and check the boxes for "enable software compression and enable ppp lcp extensions. On the nt machine, you added ras under network |services. You should see your com port that has the modem on it. On configure, make sure it is set to receive calls. On network, make sure the protocol matches the one on the 98 machine (again, netbeui is easiest to test). You will see the notice that no ras servers were found in ras admin because the service has not been started. You can goup to the menu under server and start the remote access server service (you also can start this and change start variables in services in the control panel). Also, make sure the user account has permission to dial in (set this up under permissions |grant to in ras admin or under user manager or user manager for domains if NT server. You'd open the account and click the dial-in tab to set the account to dial in. If the ras service does not start, go back and recheck your settings - make sure youreinstalled your service pack after you loaded ras for example. When ras service starts, go to 98 machine and log on, make sure you check the box on the logon screen to dial-in, type in username and password. Also make sure you are using separate phone numbers for the test (errors like this happen). To log on to the nt machine you'll hear the modem dial and then you'll connect and the logon will complete. As an aside on permissions, you can grant permission to log on either for all accounts (grant all) or select certain accounts (in ras admin). Select only those you want to dial-in. If anything here seems unclear, please post a comment and I'll respond. Good luck to you.

I suggest you purchase a book called "Mastering Windows NT" by Mark Minasi if your a network administrator most of your questions can be answered through this book with step by step instructions on most tasks. then you can save your tech points for really tricky problems.

this is a large question with many steps.

using RAS is just like you are on the local network. so, thus, it is your win98 pc that you will see. you can do whatever you can do on the local network.

you have to install the ras service, you have to make a change in user manager for domains, you need a lmhosts file on your pc.

lot of steps and details

a good nt book will have them all
