The users cannot ping other servers on the network when they connect, and thus their email client does not reach the Exchange server on Server 2. At the same time, their telnet (pronto) client that hits a specific IP address on another server is not accessible as well. I am not sure how to address this one .... is it possible for the remote users to obtain IP address and the rest of the particulars as specified in the DHCP server automatically?? So that they get the same scope options for WINS and so forth when they are dialling in as to that when they connect on the physical LAN when in the office??? Please advise.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your setup. When I dial in from home the gateway under IPCONFIG typically comes up the same as the IP address, and works fine. You didn't say whether the behaviour you observed is keeping your users from somehow connecting properly. David -----Original Message----- From: David Ng [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 9:33 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: NT4 RAS Related Issue ... please assist. Dear all, I understand that this is an Exchange discussion, however I believe there are a number of NT Gurus amongst the group, I hope everyone can assist me on this one, thanks in advance. I have a NT Server 4 machine (SP6a) that is running DHCP/WINS (PDC). I install a Perle 4-Port Multimodem card into the machine. The card is detected and the ports 2,3,4&5 are created automatically via the software CD provided. I reinstalled SP6a and following that, I installed the Remote Access Server (Service) in network neighbourhood properties. I selected the perle modem ports and assign for all to "receive calls only", and with network attributes of "allow unsecured password/allow clear text passwords", after which the machine was again restarted and logged in. My Problem: - When a client dials in to the server, it connects and authenticates the users, and a session is established, BUT the IP address I received is as follows: IP Address - aaa.bbb.ccc.144 (eg.) Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.255 Gateway - aaa.bbb.ccc.144 The subnet mask is not correct (it is supposed to be 255.255.255.128) as configured in the DHCP Scope properties. Why is this so??? The server configuration is as follows: IP address: aaa.bbb.ccc.11 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.128 Gateway: aaa.bbb.ccc.1 DNS: aaa.bbb.ccc.10 (Server 2) It is running the following services 1) WINS/DHCP/RAS and the standard NT4 Server default installed services What do I have to do to allow the DHCP to pass the IP address info and other particulars to the users who are dialling in to the server??? The users are configured with the lowest security level to reduce complications (clear text password allowed) and the clients range from Win95/98/NT/2000 with dial up networking. I have done on both occasions to test - tick and untick "IP Forwarding", but to no success. The major problem is that Exchange server is running on Server 2, and if the dial in users cannot get the right subnet mask etc. they will be on separate networks and cannot ping or resolve the Mail server address altogether. I have also tried installing the "RIP for Internet Protocol" Service to test if that would help with routing between the Network card and the Perle card, but to no success. If anyone has any suggestions or have encountered a fix for similar problems, please advise. All contributions from the group is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
