Hi all,

I have set up a RRAS server. I have not set up any authentication or user
password yet so I can successfully dial in remotely. But I can only access
shared folders on the RRAS server. I cannot access the shared folders on
other PCs on the same network as the RRAS server. What am I doing wrong ?

My network address is 192.168.1.0
My server is 192.168.1.10
I do not have DHCP installed.
I have a router that has built-in DHCP that issues IP addresses.
The RRAS server issues IP of 192.168.1.200 - 210.

Please advise
Maran

I actually managed to solve the problem. It was a name resoIution issue. So
I included a LMHOST file on the remote pc end on the dial-up configuration.

Qn:
1. Do I need to run WINS server on the RAS ?
2. Do I need to include the WINS address on the dial-up config. Properties
box on the remote user end ?
3. From what I understand about LMHOST files, is that they are not
dynamically updated, so what happens if the PC on which the resource resides
renews its IP ? Is there a way to work around this ?

thanks for the feedback. If all computers are w2k/xp, you need to add DNS.
Otherwise, add dns and wins.

LMHOSTS is based on Netbios names. If you want to use a dynamic name
server for Netbios names (ie a replacement for LMHOSTS) you would use WINS.

HOSTS files and DNS are the corresponding methods for dotted domain
names like fred.mycompany.local
