RAS on Win 2000 Pro?

Assuming your modem(s) are installed and configured, simpily click start, settings, Network & Dial up connections, Make new connetion.

A Wizard will start which will prompt you for the type of connection, select, Accept incoming connections, Select the modems to receive incoming connections, whether to accept VPN connections (in your case probably not). Select or Add dial up users.

Specify the IP condiguration depending on your network configuration. If the W2K pro box is standalone, and the clients do not need to route through the RAS box, use NetBEUI or if they need to route, use TCP/IP and specify a range of IP addresses, by clicking properties after clicking on the TCP/IP component.
Hit next, then finish and your done.

What are the limitations/restrictions of using a workstaion to accept incoming connections? What are the advantages of installing/using the RAS service on a server? Lastly, what is the service that must be installed on the workstaion to allow incoming connections?

5 won't happen, Pro's limited to 3. You need server for more, sorry :( Just use the DUN Add New Connection wizzie, Accept Incoming Calls, finish that and add the users and permissions from Control Panel. Server is more complicated of course :)
